I think the front is awesome.

There has been a lot of work go into this. It's better than the karmeleon kit any day of the week!

That's true actually, the front looks really good, but I do think the Supra rear lights and bumper area bit overkill :-k

Quality of work is clearly very good, though :)

I like the front bumper. The ar$e end looks hideous.


Liking the front must just be a young person thing :mrgreen:

I got asked to do this with the Supra lights back in 2002, i mocked up what they would look like and later did the work for the customer....

It looked bloody awful in 2002 and it looks just the same now :D

Each to their own i suppose.

The Supra lights are too big for the MK1. Seen them fitted to a MK2, and they're still disproportional to the car.

The supra is huge compared to the MR2.

Note the complete bodge blend of the whole kit which is taken from another car, possibly Mk2, hard to tell... no movement gaps at all, just 3 gallons of filler making it all one piece, cracktastic!.... just wrong!

MK2 front lenses, looks like a MK2 Bomex front bumper and a MK2 Veilside rear bumper and skirts. Supra lights have been fitted using the center piece from a Supra.

Thing I don't get with the lights, is that the lips on top of the lights, normally hidden under the hatch, are on show :scratch:

Build quality looks good.



Still looks like a pair of Y fronts though.
