MR2 to Ferrari 355 - Good, Bad or just plain Ugly?
Discussion
depends what u want really. Personally I think they're a bit sad. I'd rather have a mint MR2 turbo than something pretending it's something that its not. Everyone will know its not really a Ferrari.
Or spend the money on something like a Porsche 944 turbo/Corrado/Integrale
Sorry if it's not what you wanted to hear.

Noooooooooooooooooooo!!!! Don't do it... because it may look good on paper, and even in the flesh, as soon as another 355 appears, it will looks small, and completely crap. The engine will not sound the same, and people will laugh!
better off spending the cash on a TRD GT2000 kit, and it will look the nutz!

No don't do it, where I've moved to I regularly see one which the owner in his infinate wisedom has painted a metalicy silvery blue, in red from a distance, in the dark they look a bit like a 355 but this one due to the odd colour just looks pants, and he's got a cheapo Northern Irish plate on it which doesn't help

The 355 replica's are a total waste of money and space, just don't do it. The kits cost a fortune, the money could be much better spent on other area's of the car. Insurance compaines don't like them either.
They must cost a fortune as well because I've seen loads of 355 reps advertised for £15k +. WTF!!!
You could get a fcuking real Ferrari for that cash, what kind of idiot will spend £15k on a poorly made fake? nobs
..........
Agree... Pointless making a car summit it ain't! kitted mr2 looks feck all like the real thing! Mind you... still waiting to see a 355 with an MR2 replica kit on!! :P

I say go for it, and stop listening to other people. The kits I've seen built based on the 355 are mm perfect (not small) and unless you open the engine bay you wouldn't know the difference.
Most ferraris look like kits anyway.
But the most important thing is that if you like the look of a incredibly pretty car why buy a car as pig ugly and common as an MR2.
Don't let life brainwash you into accepting a box with no character. There is no embarissment attached to putting the body shell YOU like on a practical chassis. Don't pretend its a ferrari and you'll be fine. But ENJOY it for what it is.
