help please

Post by glen n »

i just bought a mr2 for a doner car,and ive realsied that the shell is in mint condition. i just had my car sprayed,and some other bits and bobs done,and dont know which one to keep now. im stuck between the more standard look and the kitted look which i currently have. or do i put my kit on the better shell and save paying for an engine swap?? whichever one i dont keep will be my spare parts in the future which is great:)

some feedback on my current car would be good, good or bad

Standard is cool, albeit with some discreet touches.

doesnt the border one use std side lights/indicator lenses and fogs? they just look a little squarer and better imho (might be wrong on the fogd but the other lights look the same

You have to do some work to keep the foglights as the holes in the border bumper are further apart than stock - with the border setup they are meant for ducting to vented wings, not foglights. They use the stock sidelight and indicator parts though.
