I'm not normally a ricer, but that quite literally transforms the look for the much better IMO.

That Carrera GT copy makes the MRS look sooooo much better. Should have looked more like this from the factory.

Give it up Mike, it was you!
Thought it might be Ivor and then he would hope we wouldn't notice LOL :mrgreen:

LOL SSSSSSSSSSHHHHH if I had done it id be so proud you all would know about it. I am trying to find out who bought it . The black written off spyder last month went to someone in Auckland . Was late model Low Kms and so that guy is a suspect. I love the look of the car and want one but don't like
plastic really and ive learnt that "He who has the most toys doesn't really win"

Yes, I've been on a shopping spree, that is true... but trying to focus on the performance not the looks.

From Hardrace in Oz. They had the best price (incl. shipping) I could find. Bringing things in from the US has become very expensive.
