(swopped for a fiesta & £900) my affair with the MR2 began. She started off looking like this, a very clean bog standard car with 86k on the clock.
Immediately the modding started, which I confess was one of the reasons I wanted to get a
'2, I had seen lots of nice jap cars & fancied owning one. Having previously been a Ford fan in my youth (XR2, XR4i), I wanted to try something different.Clear indicators
& side markers fitted;
I then proceeded to strip out the interior as blue did not fit in with my overall plans.
Everything blue came out & was replaced with black. Its amazing how much stuff is actually needed to do a full interior conversion!
Then came the Rev3 rear lights
& panel, sourced from Ebay Japan. These are slightly different in that the edges have been colour coded;
Then the sidestrips
& sills were colour coded;
Then the Lexus IS200 rims were obtained and rubberized with Falken shoes;
I then set about the interior with a vengeance, spraying it initially metallic grey, then silver.
..it looked crap, so after a month or 3, I returned it to black, either by painting or sourcing new bits..this is still ongoing!
Back to the bodywork now! Got some original Bomex skirts from Jason of Bok Motorsport
(now a good friend and not just the bloke that repairs MR2's). Took a bit to prep, repair & paint, and admittedly it's not a professional job, but they do their job;Before;
Fitted;
(bit of a wash & polish)
Back to the interior now, new dials from ebay, I think I kickstarted the group buy with these!

(now a friend not just a MR2 owner!)
To assist in power delivery, an induction kit
& Mongoose exhaust were fitted.
Sadly, no pics of the exhaust.
Twas a good buy from Gaz! though 
At DSA in Aylesbury on the MR2Only RR day
At Cardiff Airport
(car is my daily drive & I do all over the country with it)
Suspension was then played with.
Lowered all round by 40mm on TRD shocks & springs;
Wheel time.
.a refurb of the IS200's..black with polished lip..done 2, 2 left to go..
Now a bit of a jump to this evening! I bought an Autopista spoiler of Nichols00 from the OC, prepped it up
(ran out of paint!), bought Phoenix Power spats & a copy Bomex lip from Neos. All have been prepped and await final spraying & fitting. Spats are partially fitted, just need to be poly sealed on. Have some vinyls to be fitted too, courtesy of Jeff.Front refurbed wheels are fitted,
& have been spaced out by 5mm. The rear wheels have been spaced out 30mm and now sit perfectly in the arch. The ar$e end of the car now looks very fat When the bodywork is finished, ill start getting the ICE installed;
I do have 2 sub boxes, but they are in the loft.
Heres the car now, with some bits literally laid on
More to come.
.i'm officially a modding addict!!Juggy
and that spoiler looks awsome! Plus.
