[Mk2] [Generic] MODIFIED TRD KIT...New idea..

[Leon.]

Dave, looks like a cross between a Gallardo and a VX220

Could be interesting, who's gonna design it?

cj82, that looks like a Veilside attempt at a Ferarri front

[projectprelude]

if you make that i will fit it to my car for sure!





keep me updated i would be very intrested as long as it looked pretty simalar to your mock up.

tell you what else im waiting for someone to make! a replica of the fortuna veilside kit but for the MR2 rather than the RX7 that would look pure sex!

I come across this on ebay the other day might give some idea for the front end look or a good base for a photo shop pic

Hope it helps

That front looks like an Enzo dustbuster

For project prelude some rough mock ups :



Who could say no lol

[MR2lover]

TBH Im not really a fan on the design, I think headcover you should work on getting a great fitting trd kit as there are none out there at mo and maybe make it alittle wider and lower as the trd bumpers sit high

now.. seeing like that.. i like.. i like a lot..
very nice...

[redeye32uk]

Make one that looks exactly like that Dave, and you've got your first buyer.



EarL.

Im with Earl on this one ....just needs a 600rwhp engine and wide at the rear to take 12inch wide rims ..... (my plans keep getting out of hand )

[DARRYN]

tweaked a little bit more

[nisnos]

very very nice - still an obvious mr2 which is a good thing.

[projectprelude]

thats mental

looks like its trying to hard though

[DARRYN]

Give me some feedback on what you guys like and don't like about it and I'll keep tweaking it until it's perfect .

[nitric4k]

the wing mirrors ya never going get like that or in that place either

plus they look wrong

[DARRYN]

Rob - MK3 mirrors are similar plus some bike mirrors like those on the hayabusa would work >

Projectprelude - Is this one not trying so hard ? >

[craig]

Nice work there DARRYN

[nitric4k]

not trying be negative or anything but the wing mirrors are going have go where they are currently mounted or were just going end up with a black bit with nothing stuck on where they used be.

the mk3 did have them mirrors but toyota failed on the mk3 as it looks crap imo

without the vents on the bonnet and stuff it looks a 100x better

[DARRYN]

I see where you're coming from Rob, but I'm sure the original wing mirror baseplate can be removed and blanked off without too much hassle .

Here's another version that I quite like

[dj_davo]

i second that

[Bobby (aka Shaggar)]

no no no no no no no no no no!

Looks faaaaaaaaaaaaaaar too much like a Lamborghini wannabe. Sorry mate for stirring the pot a bit but i just think the Ferrari replica boys will have some company in the 'hated by MR2 AND ferrari owners' club. Just brings forward all the points raised before about trying to look like youre something youre not. Also the look is VERY exotic meaning the quality and fit would have to be flawless. I know your work Headcover is brilliant but what od those who fit the kit themaselves? A little missalignment and I can see the chavs drooling already. It will literally have to look a million dollars to pull the look off.

The RX7 Fortune kit mentioned above and featured in Tokyo Drift is a great example. That car really DOES look like a million dollars and it certainly doesnt look like a 4k jap turbo terro nor a kit car. It looks like part of the supercar club.

I just think that it has to

a) enforce the character and traits of the SW20 or

b) look so detached that it pretty much DOES become a supercar in terms of design, looks and build quality.



Just my £50 worth!

Feedback is always appreciated Bobby. On the point of someone fitting one badly, the kit will not be for sale for diy . It will only be available as a complete conversion . Dave is still batting about some ideas, but the concept is leaning towards building cars to be sold as neos mr2's with full service and some tuning options a possibility etc.
Although I'm sure Dave will accept customer cars in for a full re-body and paint .
I think the kit still looks like an MR2, it's not that far on from the trd, with some reflections of the mk3 veilside design as well .
Personally I love the idea, and think it just needs refined .

I hope MR2 lover doesn't mind me using his car as a base for this, but I played around with some tweaks to the trd kit as well >>




I also like the sard front wings, might be a good way to go >>




More feedback required

I think you should finish the Toms rear bumper project first
