Back in the day, there was a kit that made an MR2 look like a Ferrari 355, and it was actually quite good! Certainly better than this c**p!!

Reply #4 - 08. Aug 2011 at 23:28 In fact, looking at it again, I'm sure parts of it is the MR2/Ferrari kit!! I'm sure the mirrors are stock MR2 as well!! Someone is seriously having a grin here!! Right, I''m off to scratch my eyes out!!

Reply #5 - 08. Aug 2011 at 23:29 I think the front bumper section is 355 kit, and are the headlights Fiat Coupe jobs?

Christ! I can't believe a 20 year old Toyota is worth 10.5k of anyone's money! Even with a few fake Ferrari badges!! Perhaps that's why it's still for sale!! Cheesy

Met up with some idiots driving something like that at Le Mans once. I think they actually believed it was a Ferrari, but it was clear from about 300 yds that it was a badly hacked about Pontiac Fiero.
Oh, how I chuckled when they tried to do a burnout and it threw a rod.
