Track prepared MR2s

Post by peterjf »

My MR2 having fun back in 2007 at Bruntingthorpe, before the noise police shut it down.

It's a work-in-progress, and I still have plans for a few more mods when time & money permits, but it is great fun on track days, and each mod has made a noticeable positive improvement so far :thumleft:

Yes, all of my windows except the windscreen are polycarbonate.

The rear screen is also covered in contravision:

Which in addition to providing some extra real estate for sponsors is primarily used for reducing glare from other cars at night. Rear visibility is in no way compromised.

Who supplied them and at what cost?

I have been quoted £320 delivered for the two fronts with sliders, and the rear screen. Is the rear screen in a MK2 glass?

There's only one place in the UK that does them, so we're talking to the same people.
