[Mk2] [Generic] Photoshopped mk2 - cool or not cool?

[OwenK]

Just done this photoshop and was wondering what people reckoned about it. Personally I've always loved 80s styling and think the whole two-tone thing complete with retro rims looks ace on the mk2 (more so than it does on a mk1). However my mate tells me I'm bonkers and it looks stupid.


What's the general consensus? If I had a boatload of money, I'd be tempted to style my MR a bit like this one...

[Nogg]

Hmm, sorry but I'm with your mate and neither of your poll options cover that.

spoiler looks wrong, wheels need to be smaller at the front and i doubt you would've got away with a baby blue roll cage in the 80's, other than that i think its pretty cool

[k-ro]

im indifferent. Looks ok, hard to make out the lower half though

[Dan88]

i like the paint job, not so keen on the wheels though

[Charged]

I like it.

Heres my old two tone SC for comparision

[fearless]

from me its a no and a no im afraid not my cup of tea and i loved the 80's

[marcnoonan]

Mmmmm,

Doesn't look too bad I suppose, spoilers a Do-Luck one BTW, but I guess you just used it for the colour scheme and alloys rather than the details.

Funnily enough I have a staggered 16" set of those Borbet A alloys, biggest dish I've ever seen and would love to be able to get them on an MR2.

Grown on me a bit more and normally don't like that sort of thing.

i like it, but think a charcoal or gunmetal grey would be better than the black

[3sgte]

i like it

looks like an ae86







hang on i've seen that mr2/ae86 idea somewhere before

[fearless]

now that looks cool

The wheels look like mine? and it might be better gloss black?

[nikaiyo]

The idea is cool, I think you pic looks great, sort of toying with doing something similar but its quite a JDM thing to do IMHO.

The wheels are really old skool Euro type wheels so it looks a bit mis-matched, put some cool Jap wheels on.... Super Advans would work well , dont even need to be that retro, just have a real Jap look to them. BTW not having a go at your wheels, just saying they might not suit the paint job thats all.

A "fine man in Dandism" sticker would also be a must

Top marks for the quality Photoshopping dude!

Bottom half in silver/grey and I'd like it better. I think the problem is that I like the 2s shape so much any colour/combo that disguises it is a non starter for me. Bottom half is too dark IMO.

With those wheels and rear spoiler i think it looks cool... MRTrueno

[Razor04]

nice man' shades of the AE86 from initial D, good work

[DB1]

im in to the two-tone effect...
i think it shows the car's shape and lines very well.

Plus you wont be able to see the annoying tar/debris that tends to be really apparent on white MR's.

two tumbs fresh!

[BiGWiLlYsTyLe]

I think it would look good white with the black roof but not the other way around but each to their own

[MrGazz2]

I think that looks very smart, and of course it'd look better when properly done when compared to a photoshopped picture.

The chunky AE89-styled one looks bloody awful.

[tonigmr2]

I like.

I did see a two tone MR2 a year or two at JAE, it looked lovely in the flesh.
(Think it was blue/red or similar, sounds odd but really effective).

I think that break really brings out the lines of the MR2.
