Thought id best post some pics up even though ive had this car about a year now but since i have down graded from my last Turbo i wasnt too fussed about putting pics up of this one.
Any how its now all spotless minus a hover and here are some pics.
Cheers to Rash for letting me use his garage to sort the car out under some cover. Helps a bunch.

Blimey that's quite impressive. Looks like it had some good paintwork to start with, looks flawless!
Re: Current MR2 NA after some Autoglym SRP treatment & New Volks! *Edit
Wow looks far better than it did dude, I need to do mine this weekend!
Re: Current MR2 NA after some Autoglym SRP treatment & New Volks! *Edit
Swiss - Previous owner was a lady in her 50's who had owned it for 7 years and over time she had a couple of mior grazes and the hubby (mechanic with his own garage) had the bumpers repainted at some point.
Regardless.. the rest of the orginal paintwork is still very good.
Aye cos the last time you saw it .. it hadn't been washed in weeks and it still had the ugly front original amber corner lights and looked like this.
After i had washed it. But not waxed it...
I'm continually amazed at how much a set of £30 clear corners does to modernise the look of a Mk2 NA.

This weekend boyo if your free, we can go down to Rash's garage if he is there.
Re: Current MR2 NA after some Autoglym SRP treatment & New Volks! *Edit
Errr yeah should be able to do sunday morning if you can?
Re: Current MR2 NA after some Autoglym SRP treatment & New Volks! *Edit
Well... the rims are now sorted and are on the car. Still not had chance to try the Harly wax but thought id show the car with the new alloys on. Makes so much of a difference!
After doing some investigating i have found out that these are in fact TE37's but the old version before the lastest design came in. The sticker inside says they were made in 1997!
Granted its sat a bit higher now but i dont mind it looking like a monster truck.

cheers bud. I cant believe I've had them in the garage for over a year waiting to repair the cracked one! Should have done it zoo much sooner. Really loving the rims as they changed the whole look of the car.
Also with them being very rare it makes it more special!
Re: Current MR2 NA after some Autoglym SRP treatment & New Volks! *Edit
Nice work fella, looks
