I love mk1 MR2's

I hate what has been done to this one

I haven't seen those venom alloys for years

[Mr MXT]

TSW Venoms, how very 90s.

I actually like that, apart from the wheels..

[Timbola]

I think that looks pretty okay, in a 1980's go-faster-stripes kinda way.

[cirian75]

A set of black alloys would vastly improve the looks

[budgie smuggler]

Wheels need to be lime green.

[cirian75]

I bet the sills are totally gone with rust under the body kit.

Got two sets in my garage

Quite like the orange mr2

[B'stard Child]

I quite like that.....

[LaurasOtherHalf]

Looks almost mat effect, might only be plasti-dipped.

I don't think it is the same car.

The flickr image has a scoop on the NSR, the Autotrader one doesn't.
The shades and finish of the orange colour are completely different, not to mention all the black panels on the flickr car.
The Autotrader car has orange side repeaters, the flickr one clear.
Different wheels, too.

Sure, they're all relatively easy things to change, shade/gloss apart - but, "orange mk1 MR2" apart, there's not many similarities.

That apart, I quite like it.

The flickr is a professional job, I could live with that one.

But the the autotrader is the cheap copy.

I quite like it - has kept the trends of the time.

Strange to think if this was done by the original owner he'll probably be enjoying retired life by now.

That interior looks quite cosy

In a roundabout way that's what I meant, prefer those seats to leather ones or "sports" seats.
