Title: I think this is the nicest spider
Post by: LeeUK on September 14, 2004, 22:02
I've spoken to Spiderchi a few times on MSN about his amazing MR2.  Just looking through a few american tuning sites and found another pic of his car, thought I'd share it with ya'll:

In a couple of years I may have something nearly as nice maybe....  s:lol: :lol: s:lol:

I'm a big fan of the top secret bodykit, looks so subtle but increadibly stunning.

looks nice with contrast on the carbon fibre bonnet as well, anyone over here done that?

I've been tempted with a carbon bonnett, but it wouldn't be much of a contrast on my black car. Still may do it if funds allow!

Sure it's a pretty front bumper, but it makes it look toooooooooo Porsche. I know this is the intention, but why?  s:? :? s:?  I know Toyota aped the Boxster when designing the 2, and I feel that they improved on the original (shorter overhangs, better poise, a rear that looks like a rear  s:lol: :lol: s:lol:  ), but I think it smacks of Ferrari body kits. Just my humble opinion, of course.  s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

Agreed. Its an MR2. NOT a Boxter. If you want a Boxter, save that little bit more and buy one. With the amount spend on the kit and the work, it probably would come close to the price of a good second hand Boxter anyway!!!

Not my cup of tea really. Some kits have looked Ok, but that one is WAY too Porsche......

Bumper is pure Boxter rip-off and as for the bonnet...well... stupid is about the most polite comment I can think of, IMO of course!
