Took the MR2 to Meremere to see what time it could pull down the track
Still completely stock!

After a month or so, i have been out searching for a bodykit. I had acquired myself a GReddy Front Lip off a friend of mine.
I wasnt going to attach the lip by itself and was looking for some Sideskirts and Rear Spats.

After some more searching and a LOT of googling of bodykits. I was really wanting Border Sideskirts and Rear Spats
A Club member and Good friend of mine - Logan - Very Conveniently had exactly the parts i needed so i purchased them from him.

This is my inspiration - Owner : Sergey Anisonyan - Bodykitted MR2 - Very sexy car - JDMChicago

The very next day after getting my hands on the rest of the bodykit, i sent it to the shop.
I wanted a good job, and for a good job you cant expect to have a budget. I specially asked for the bodykit to be fibreglassed into the body (if possible)

Special Credit to OnShow Kustoms for doing such a good job

I had the Rear spats fibreglassed into the body and the Lip and Sideskirts bolted on. Also had both front and rear bumpers resprayed.
This took a week and was quite pricey but as always if you want good quality, you pay good money

As soon as i got it back, i immediately took it for a spin up scenic drive and snapped this photo.

Don't get a bolt in. They are terrible and will not help if you do roll. The design around the dashboard means the roof will cave in anyway as the bars will just collapse.

In that case, I completely understand. Although a weld in with bars everywhere would look way better.

Grrrrrrr (Lee) is right, conversation has been made and turned into an all out war. Lets keep it away from this thread :D
Colour : Ill probably paint it the same as my car to match (Anthracite)
On the other hand i like this look. I know it may not appeal to many people but its what i like, its something different and its what my MR2 is about. Ive done what i have to be unique.

White bars in the background of this image is what im after.
