i cant make my mind up on those rear lights, they definately look better now you've repainted them though :thumleft:
just out of curiosity, is that engine cover practical becuase surely it doesnt let the heat out properly?

that was my thought.. looks great but I thought the rear spoiler on an MR2 was to cause turbulence over the engine cover to draw the heat away from the engine?? Might be wrong tho... Will have to pop over and have a proper look at your car now its almost finished and when its daylight :D

im gona have to modify the glass panel to let more heat out!!

As with doing anything as a 1 off, you learn as you go along but i need to make it dispense more heat as it currently is trapping to much above the turbo area.

thinking an oval cut out at the turbo end will work?

well hoping to get it to a few shows this year and obviously would have been great to have got it into MR2 ONLY Magazine, such a shame its not produced any more. :(
