I wish people would stick to painting vans like this. Because unless it's a premium model car, eventually it's going to age and just look like a heap of st with a disappointingly wasted overcoat.
Like that.

I'm sure this is what they mean when they proudly put "turns heads everywhere" on their eBay listing.

Yeah, it's people taking pictures to post on threads like this, you dingus.

The replica looks ok to be honest but I really cant stand the stupid rat look.

I was at a car show a few years ago that had various show prizes on offer one of which was best show car. There was some seriously interesting and rare metal in wonderful condition but the prize went to what looked like a broken down leon with a load of stickers on it and a roof rack full of crap.

Not cool in my book!

I was looking on eBay for a case to use on the back-rack of the MX5. I came across quite a few 'vintage suitcases' which included the fact they were knackered as a selling point for those wishing to put them on their roofrack and not having to worry about it.

It wasn't a bad MR2 replica to be fair, the show it was at was very small but also had a Testarossa and a 308. If the truth be told I paid it little attention other than pointing the camera at it, it wasn't until I got home and viewed the images that I thought hmm hold on that doesn't look right. The thing that really wound me up was I was at an even smaller gathering of cars a week later and the Ferrari badged MR2 was there too. There was a chap looking at the car and his son was sat in the car I said to him it's an MR2 and he looked surprised and said are you sure I told him I was pretty sure and he walked off looking embarrassed. I spoke to owner and said MR2 he also looked embarrassed and said yes. I don't mind replicas but this was more of a fake if you get my point.

I dont mind replicas if they do a great job of convincing the average petrolhead but some are pretty poor efforts it has to be said. I did see a very good MR2 360 replica for hire locally and if it were on the move I am sure most people would be convinced.
