MR2 Ferrari

My favourite thing about it is that it looks more MR2 than Ferrari. They don’t seem to have done anything apart from put circular rear lights on and a ridiculous amount of badges.

Some replicas look convincing from afar and you can see work have gone into them, this one just looks like an MR2.

I'm sitting here on my own in my home office and I actually laughed out loud when I saw the interior photo. Absolute car crash of nonsense.

I’m struggling to see what’s been done to it to make it look like a vintage Ferrari, what a knob. As for the car it’s absolute gash piece of st

'For sale is my well loved RST st 225 but I rebranded it as its mainly rs in an st body...
Why not just buy an rs???
Well the st handles better at 400+bhp than the rs does ... ssc performance who did most of the upgrade work and tuning and reguarly work on sts and rs say this is always the case.' Look at the rusty as balls damper!



'Spent in the region of 25k++ on this

The only upgrade she would benefit from is a diff that will remove most of the torque steer that all sts and rs suffer with and also allow more power to be put down at pull off.
Already leaves most cars standing She's somewhere around 450bhp maybe more... not been able to put on a dyno as final upgrades/ tuning were done during lockdown so not had opportunity to get in on the dyno but she was running 320 on stage 2revo before upgrades
Bass speaker boot panel and custom speaker shelf Baseface speakers throughout '

That's exactly what I was thinking.

If I put a Ferrari badge on a red Astra, do you think I could pass it off as an FF replica?

"Advertised locally as well as online..."
"...Please note I will not sell off ebay so please don't ask"

Riiight.
Usual practice of expecting their mods to increase the value of the car.

That just looks like what it is - a 56 plate Focus with some stickers, hydrodipped engine plastic covers and painted calipers. Look at the scruffy fasteners, tatty loom, (as mentioned) scabby dampers, rust on brackets. I wonder what it would really make on a dyno......

That MR2 is something else.

Anyone who thinks that looks like a Ferrari needs to get their eyes tested! It’s an absolute monstrosity.

On the plus side, the owner can be fairly sure they won’t be sued by Ferrari. There’s always a silver lining...

If you send the badges, I’ve already got the red Astra, we can see how many people think it’s an FF.

Someone's had plenty pull off already methinks.

That said, Aston Martin tried something similar with some small Toyota or other (and managed to fob a few off on the gullible) ...

Given this 220d is rocking a truly ferocious 235hp, according to the ad, I can see why they needed such a big wing.

[Krikkit]

It's not often I literally laugh out loud at posts, but that BMW has induced it immediately. What an absolute crock.

[PH User]

Why would you do all that, then leave the 220d badge on the back?

[supacool1]

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaa



Those crap vents are just stuck on. If they were fitted correctly they'd still be crap but should be stuck down from the underside of the bonnet! Also love the shoppping list on the bonnet. Kenwood and Alpine?!?! Alpine twice no less....
