MR2 or Ferrari 355? Can YOU spot the difference..?

Post by Rowland »

Now from time to time a 355 look-alikey will turn up on eBay.
Some will be a pretty poor effort lacking attention to detail, others will look reasonably similar to the real thing, although maybe they'll be one photo that gives it away.

Just spotted one just listed on eBay.
I think only the eagle-eyed true MR2 enthusiast or Ferrari fan will be able to tell the difference...

:D

Spotted it! The Ferrari badge on the front passenger side wing looks a little bit too low. Man that copy is good! As you say, to the untrained eye that MR2 will pass as a F355 any day!

Man i am good.

ROFL -

The car is a Ferrari F355 look-a-like based on a toyota MR2 G-Limited


I think we can tell what its based on :mrgreen:

This is a stunning car and a real head turner and will certainly get you noticed/talked about


Maybe, but not for the right reasons :mrgreen: :mrgreen:


PMSL :lol: :lol: :lol: -

??????please note this is not a Ferrari but a MR2 with an identity problem?????


I think we can tell that #-o #-o

minute bit of paint work damage around the front badge were some idiot tried to nick the badge


Someoen tries to do him a favour and he calls them an Idiot!!!

Surely he is taking the p1$$ with this auction? He cant actually think it looks like a Ferrari???? Is there realy people out their that silly??
