I do like the Caribbean Blue, very nice colour!

Yours looks a nice car Smartdj, I've got my heart set on one from about 94 on and with very minimal body mods really! Starting to think I might be a bit too picky!

Re: Where have all the decent Mk2 turbo tintops gone?!!
Im with you OP, i aint seen a good one in a while, and was actually considering posting something up to this effect.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
I was going to buy one as a second car again, or to keep in the garage to run alongside the M3.
.
.
.
.
i just dont see any that i would have to buy.![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Going back to the one i got first time round in 2005, it was perfect.
Bodywork was excelllent and standard, and had a nice set of Jap alloys on it.![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Now all i seem to see is xxxx with bodykits on, and mid fitting halfords cheap looking alloys.![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Engines might be strong, but they just look cheap.![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Even on here there is only 1 or 2 coming up that i actually think is decent, like the yellow one in the 1st post.
But dont think it has an MOT and needs work?
Quite dissapointed, even Pistonheads is quite bleak.![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
I have been on the jap auctions though and some do look quite good!
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Might have resigned myself to getting a Mk1, and a turbo conversion instead.![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)

Re: Where have all the decent Mk2 turbo tintops gone?!!
Hahahaa i disagree man, i think the Mk2 looks very good! maybe not bog standard, but new wheels and dropped a little, the Rev 3's
+ look very good.![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
MK1's on the other hand, i think they are still as ugly as i thought they were years ago, i would still have a supercharged or turbo one though
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Sheer cheap thrills, the clean ones look good and are a laugh.

only problem is that there doesnt seem to be many clean ones around in my opinion.![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)

Re: Where have all the decent Mk2 turbo tintops gone?!!
See, I love the MK1.
Think it looks perfect for the job it was conceived to do all those years ago.
But the MK2.

Ugh! Fatty bum bum!

Re: Where have all the decent Mk2 turbo tintops gone?!!
I'm different again.
I was a teen in the nineties when the MK2s were doing the rounds and they had a very classic shape, which I think still looks well today.![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
As a result I like clean, standardish-looking MR2s
- personally not a fan of the
Max-Powered efforts, though I'd never knock someone else who was
- plenty of space for all tastes when it comes to the SW20 in my book.
