It is nasty. Saw it in the flesh at JAE.

It looked pretty poor. In fact if you try a search you will see quite a few people thought the same.

there's something not quite right about it to me, especially from the side view. i think the back end extends out too far can't quite put my finger on it.

I "like" what they've done with the rear wheel arch (well, the beggining of it) but why is it that people think to add a front bumper to an MR2 it has to look like a carp?

Overall, i like "what" they've done, but not "how" they've done it, if that makes sense? :?

yeah saw it at JAE, not overly keen on kits that make the MR2 not look like, erm....an MR2.

Apart from the rear view I think it is absolutely hideous.

The only bit I really like is that forward opening bonnet.

The back of the rear arch is wrong IMO: too square and flat.

And the rear window vent and T-bar looks too original to my mind.

Still, if you've got £3k spare and you want to leave people guessing, go for it.

prob looked good on paper and great for trying to be diffrent and to see it thru BUT
its end up looking like a bad kit car sadly,the lines dont gel and the finish will never look factory so leaves me with a ill feeling looking at it

things like this look great in your head but in person they look like a dyslexic jigsaw IMHO

I reckon to the neutral it would like quite smart. For people like us that appreciate the MR2 for the lines and curves of the car then the majority of us would turn our nose up at it.

I'm not one for taking anything away from what Toyota created with the MR2... within reason! 8)

But top marks for having a blast and trying something a bit different.

Saw it in the flesh at JAE and the lines just didn't flow.

Looked like one person did the front, another the middle, and a 3rd the rear. They then just glued it all together.

I'm sure with a bit of tweaking it could look nicer, like a Noble or the Veilside Fortune RX7's .. but this just screams of dodgy kit to me (and my mates who also saw it at JAE).

Just needs that extra 5% to make it look the part.

The thing that p1$$e$ me off, is that's it's not far off looking awesome.

Personally (and I know we all have different tastes).

The front intake needs to be a bit bigger, and needs to come down steeper over the front wheel. Bit more meat over the rear arches/intakes and shorten up the rear and sweep it under with a diffuser.

Then I'd give my left ball for it ;)
