[Umar B]

I HAVE RECENTY SEEN PICTURES ON KIT AVAILANLE TO MAKE THE MK2 MR2 INTO A F355 REPLICA, HAS ANY BODY ELSE SEEN THESE?

Some photos and information on these cars and a very realistic view of the whole replica concept IMHO.

There were two companies in the UK producing body kits to make the MR2 look like a F355, the best being one produced by the Fiero Factory in Birmingham, but as I hear it Ferrari's legal heavies had them taken off the market. Same situation with every other Ferrari copy I can think of bar the Foreman P4 replica - possibly because you're not likely to ever see a real one of those anyway.

I must say that picture could almost be a 355, I think it is....I did see one of those fakes and really anyone who knows a bit about cars will spot it (okay, so women will think it is a Ferrari).

I had to laugh at the guy driving it, the rake of the windscreen gioves it away, and it is just so over the top, never mind the panel gaps.....

Don't do it, get an MR2 Turbo or a TVR S instead....
