It looks really good when mounted on the body. Those wheels are in exactly the right place and look the perfect size for the car. I would love one of these

Can't find the link now, but I found the site of the company that makes the panels, it is in fact only a 90% scale body, so is quite a bit smaller than the original.

This is just wrong diddly wrong wrong!

If that's the case then what is the crack with this:

company who had taken moulds off a genuine Ferrari 360 Spider then modified them to fit the Toyota MR2 Roadster


Is he talking rubbish? Or would you take a mould then reduce it somehow? Doesn't make sense to me, I suspect mr Ebay has been eating liar pies.

The panels are pretty realistic looking.. and if you put the right spacers and wheels on it'd look pretty good from a distance.. but the snag comes with the engine cover.. it's gonna look pretty silly when there's no red-cam-covered V8 staring back at you.

if you looked a little closer you would have realized that it only look this silly because he has not yet put wing mirrors on it..... but its ok because he is supplying them. Then it will be one BAD mutha or something
