It does look good, you cant deny that. i wonder how it would look next to the real thing though. Lets face it, it will probably fool 95% of people. And its not exactly slow either being the turbo mr2.

I personally think these look much better when based on a 406 coupe. Much bigger and more like the real thing when up close. Your alwasy going to be able to tell up close yes, but some do still look good if done well. My mate had a 360 spider rep based on the new shape mr2 and i must say, looks wise it was pretty dam good, apart from not having big brakes and all the interior done properly.

Id pay Ł3k for it....and sell it for Ł15k easily.

Of course its obvious its a rep to most of us, but it wont be to the majority of the public. Thats what a rep is all about to these people......the pose factor!

think it looks utter shite; so obvious its a fake - why anyone would want to build one is beyond me

and why have a dump valve on it?

you just get laughed at for building a fake Ferrari
