Can the MR2 fly?!

Looks like you'll need to offer-up, mark and drill?

I think thats why the rears need the metal bracket for the screw-bolts to grab into....there aren't any threaded holes behind the lining, and therefore no pre-drilled holes.

.....but I'm in guessing territory now.

Well, got the front air dam + fixing hardware and the rear spats. But they forgot the brackets for the latter. Even without those, it still cost me €109.

Ernie, please take pics of them before you install them. s8)

(and during the install and after the install while you're at it s:lol: :lol: s:lol: )

Well, the bad news is: I can't see any way to fit the front air dam to my 2001 '2 short of drilling holes myself in the plastic.

Does anyone have a picture of one of these fitted?

And if I can't get it onto the car, does anyone want to buy the air dam + fittings from me? s:(

Go back a page Ernie - is that what you're looking for?

I thought all bumpers had pre-drilled slots on the bumper underside - maybe not s:? :? s:?

My bumper definitely doesn't have slots or holes in the positions shown in that picture:

a quick question about that lip... is it the same on the face-lifted models?

I lost mine when a truck tyre blew my front bumper and I can't recall if it is exactly the same or bigger... please help!

I think so as mine is teh one from an 03 on a pre03

spit · July 11, 2006, 15:55

The photo above is from a facelift model.

The pre-03 didn't have the lip or rear spats fitted as standard. Most of us seem to have just the front spats.

But as Mark has proved, the post-lip fits the pre-bumper s:lol: :lol: s:lol:

My '02 had both s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

Which "both" out of the three did you have Sean? s:? :? s:?

Seems to be some considerable variation around then.

I have the holes in my '99 bumper to take the lip, but not the lip itself. I have the front spats but not the rears.

Quote from: "spit"Confused me too Edward, but I assume the rears use the same principle to help keep the rear planted.

Any aerodynamic gurus here?

ps the S'chat article also posts a virtual wind tunnel pressure image without spats.... no idea what it means, but here y'go s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

Was there an image with the spats fitted? I bet you'd see a lot more blue under the car.
