Didnt even recognise it as a NV autostyling kit... i quite liked their blue one when i first saw the kits years ago (on sale on ph iirc) - this one didnt have a rear grille though iirc, was just a completely flat back... definately needs a spoiler too

Although must say i prefer the standard MR2 :oops:

From a distance (laptop the otherside of the room) it looks ok, but closer you can tell its a two.

I quite like it, but id never go through all that time and money just to make it look ok from a distance.

softer lines and different front lights would realy make a difference. im afraid however a whole new back end would be required as its absolutely shocking. but then some mothers have ugly babies......would you ever tell them it was though!?

The lights are different. On the red they go right to the front of the car, whereas on the black one there is a gap after the lights.

Red one just looks a bit odd and cheap :?

I think the owner of that car would be a little heartbroken by the 'badly repaired ferrari' title of this thread :lol:

I think it looks quite nice myself :eye:

I don't actually mind the look of the car in the original post, some nice wheels would be better on it though.
