... or you could do as I did;

Pop to Tesco, park up leaving the roof down and double lock the car with the remote.

Come back 5 mins later with your bag of shopping.

Notice there are some attractive young ladies watching you approach your car.

Try and look cool by tossing the shopping bag through the open top of the car on to the passenger seat, but forget to disarm the alarm first; hence setting it off.

You will then look uber cool  s:oops: :oops: s:oops:    s:lol: :lol: s:lol:  

If you don't have an alarm it won't be set off. I do have one - as I found out / reminded myself!   s:roll: :roll: s:roll:    s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

I was actually thinking of getting the Clifford Solaris on mine. Quite fancied that remote engine start, think that would look pretty good.

Not sure whether to get that which about £450 or buy the twin exhaust from hayward and scott. What do you think guys? Does the original mr2 alarm need upgrading?

I know i'd get more enjoyment from the exhaust - think the novelty of playing with the alarm would wear off quite soon.

Exhaust no question

Blimey......Exhaust all round. So it will sound nice, but who cares if it gets nicked! hahaha

To be honest I do think the MR2 needs a bit of grunt so it may have to be the exhaust.
