Oh great, yet another kit form not-quite-lookalike, when what the industry could really do with is more GOOD original design!

In a past thread we had stylists moaning that kit car companies wouldn't pay to use them and I challenged them to put their money where their mouths were and try making a car themselves rather than always expecting the engineers to do it.

Well seems to me that designing a body kit would be the ideal way to do it as you've no chassis or suspension worries and all the main dimensions are already fixed.

Reckon there must be a demand for something along the lines of the Finale - i.e. exotic but original styling - to suit a Mk2 MR2. Veranti is OK but styling bit bland (well it does rather resemble a Boxster). Sure you do something that looks every bit as exotic as a Ferrari with having to resort to doing yet another fake F355...

Plenty of low cost base cars, potentially big international market (UK, US and Japan at least).

So, anybody want to give it a go?

I will give it a go, and hope all the other guys will too, and create a few body shapes for the Mazda Mx5 and the Toyota mr2 mk.2

I guess we could create a coupe for the Mazda and roadster for the Toyota, or viceversa, but any design sketch or rendering will do.

So please join the thread and sketch your best ideas, and let's have fun and show kitcar manufacturers what we can do with these 2 cars....

That thing is just so wrong in so many ways.
