Very good effort, not too sure on the wing and the scoops but it does look good as a package :)

fave part - your flared arches. there's so much non-stock on that car that i didn't even notice them the first time i saw the pics.

could you not have the car SORN for a year or so, and just tax / mot it when you could afford the insurance premium ?

that's a lot of work to make it your "personal" car , just to have to sell it.

Try some of the specialist MR2 insurance companie. A-Plan, Sky etc.

I'd love to hear the sounds. Is it not a bit tight in there with them behind the seats?

Love the smoothing work. Lights could do with a polish and a tint, but the rest is mint. Not my personaly taste in kits/additions, but great work by the looks of things. I'm a huge fan of smoothness. :clap:

my thoughts.....
great work....but a very euro style to me, lost the jap quality of it...

never keen on the veilside front...
but what youve done with the side and the archs and blending is AWSOME...

WAY to much going on at the rear...need a better spoiler and to ditch the scoops...
not so keen on the fact the rear lights look wonkey and almost like there gona fall off.
wheels, bit to euro...
interior, VERY nice indeed, altoh not keen on the subs....

but credit to the work.

THE SUNS GLARING IN MY SCREEN HERE SO I CANT SEE ALL THE DETAILS, BUT TO MY SURPRISE, I ACTUALLY LIKE THIS CAR, I USUALLY CRINKLE MY NOSE AT VEISLIDE KITTED CARS, BUT THAT COLOUR IS ACE AND REALLY PULLS THE KIT OFF...

AS FOR SELLING IT, CANT YOU JSUT GARAGE IT AND RUN IT AS A SHOW CAR FOR A FEW YEARS :-/ OR TRY FLUX AGAIN, BUT TRY INSURING IT AS A KIT CAR? WHAT ABOUT DISABLING THE NOS SYSTEM AND INSURING IT TPFT? OR TRY AON INSURANCE, SPEAK TO SOME ONE DIRECTLY, NOT GOING THROUGH A FORM ON A WEBSITE OR A MONKEY AT A CALL CENTER....

BEST OF LUCK WITH IT.
