There's another MR2 that i've stumbled across from Japan. That has quite a bit of aero added to it;

I really like how it sits on the gold one, that's exactly what I'm looking for.

As much as I like the wider body, I'm going for a Greddy style lip and border skirts. I think the diffuser will finish it off nice! Standard Rev 3 spoiler is good enough for me too!

Any more images of the gold car from behind?

Yes! That would be ace. While searching eBay I've come across this, I think it would work pretty well. I'm going to make a card template with the dimensions it gives.

just have this niggling thought that if I rip out the wiring, then the car will never get out of the garage again.

Oh, that looks absolutely spot on! Any chance you can put me in touch with whoever it was that you bought it from?

Thank you so much for doing that! It's appreciated :)

So it is for cosmetic purposes? I'm only asking because I was planning to fit a flat floor and rear diffuser to my track car (before a rather drastic change of plan).

Without the flat floor, and with the stock undertrays, there won't be much of a venturi effect created, as most of the air under the car gets diverted into the bottom of the engine bay....
