raises the questions, where was it taken, and is the oil cooler cosmetic only?

No it isn't!

Stupid cheapo arches, tacky graphics, ridiculous wheels, daft looking lazy headlights and the ubiquitous black bonnet. Usually, such motor murderers concentrate on mk2 MR2s but this owner managed to ruin a mk1 :(

i'm talking about the whole picture... composition etc.

are the leaves artfully scattered diliberately? I think so. Which means a level of detail that can only be japanese. i bet the scuffed front valance is deliberate, to imply hard driftage. I love it!!

I like aspects of it but the sleepy eye kit (on ANY car let alone a mk1) ruins it for me..

I would say Ollie's is spot on, though it does have the best engine in the world in it instead of a 4AGE. :(
