Long time lurker, thought i might put my car up on here seeing the amount of nice cars on here and the amount of work i put in mine

Well my MR2 love affair started in '06 with a NA after finishing uni. Ran that for 2 years, then as you do you have the turbo itch, so got this in '08





Pretty nice i thought with goodies like the wheels and boost controller already installed.

After a full service to set my mine at ease, i put this body kit on. Normally i think the SW20 looks good on its own but this kit only say 3 people i know have it and it looks imo stealth biggrin At this point i only had the front and sides of the bodykit







Anyway fast-wards to '10 i found the back on ebay as a fixer-her-upper and the later spec rear spoiler so a jumped on it

so from this



to




Just last week my mate and i finish installed my finishing touch to the outside. The revision 6 light conversion.
I have always thought the pop-up lights on the SW20 came up too high spoiling the look of the car, coupled with they are crap at their job smile so here is the finish product. Complete with HID (in projector lens)



Anyway thanks for reading - here is my current fav picture my mate took

So, are they as lethal as some owners would have me believe?
The only people who say its lethal are drivers who come from FWD cars and drive it as if it was FWD

Nice, looks really cool - as you say, stealth! You say it has a boost controller, are you running much above standard?
I can run it at 1.2bar but i dont really really run much above stock of 0.9bar. Only on special occasion do i stretch her legs smile

Love the do-luck kit, car looks stunning.

Prefer it with the combat spoiler but have you tried tracking down the do-luck spoiler?

I love the Do-Luck spoiler too mate but each piece of do-luck kit is £800+ hehe. The Rev 5 spoiler came up at a good price and was in black already

Cheers guys for warm comments, Um forgotten who said it would look better without the rear spoiler. I seen MR2 without the spoiler they look naked to me :P plus they are need for downforce
