Lost count of the number of times I've left indicators on, think I need one of those lights! Lot of time and love gone into your car. Who made the seat covers? And are they retrimmed stock seats, or celica/other?

indicator lights £4 off ebay , seats retrimmed
I am slightly unsure with the alloys, but then again I am used to seeing smaller wheels on the MR2 to keep the weight down for handling etc.
What are your goals for the car? Have you done all the mods yourself? The kit suits the car and I also like the subtle tweaks and mods you have also done to make it slightly different.
done mostly mods myself , I like the alloys but all down to what you like , I'm thinking of paint the alloys black or just leave them what you think, I would like to give it more power but all down to money , I would like a hardtop blue then again have to wait till I save up
Car isn't to my taste (so I'm maybe not the best judge) but I had the same thought about the wheels. Interior is very much a personal taste thing.
Front / Rear you've obviously gone for quite an aggressive look and I reckon that on the whole you've achieved it without overdoing it.
Sideview is less successful IMHO and after a bit of thought it was the wheels that stood out for me. They'd definitely look alot better black to my eyes (as would a body colour filler flap - though at least it's not a chrome ringed one :) ) but if you can stretch to it there's a choice of 3 sets of wheels in the private sales section right now, all of which look good on a 2 ;)
everybody's got different tastes and different opinions , thank you for yours , still unsure about the wheels but I probably will change them black sometime

I think it
actually looks really good. I like that no two 2's are the same. I like that everyone wants to put their personal touch on their car. I really don't wish to offend (I've had too much beer.) But I'd really urge you to take it on a track day with instruction. Not within everyone's budget, fair enough, but maybe if freinds/family chip in with birthday tokens, then... Soon, you won't care so much about how other people think it looks. There's far more to this car when you understand what it's capable of. And for such an incredibly reasonable price. Black, red, silver, yellow, green... Go for it. Make it yours. But drive it. Drive it in the sun. Drive it in the rain (with the hood down). Wash it. Tweak it. Put your stamp on it. But most of all just enjoy it. Who cares what anyone thinks? It's perfect!
Hangover this morning, Derek? ;)
thank you for your feedback I don't think I'm confident for the take on track

That looks much better mate with the satin black wheels.
No offence, your car an all, but I think it would look better if the chrome mesh bits were in black and for more mod ideas maybe you could debadge the rear and tint the lights to go with the theme. I edited a quick pic for you to get an idea.

And I think that would look worse :)
I think doing the wheels black was an easy win, but like Del says, it's maybe time to not care what anyone else thinks, declare your car fully (cosmetically) modded. and start thinking more about other aspects of the ownership experience.
Was wondering what make of tyres you are running.......
