B7 front bumper & V-Grill for the B5

[MarkB]

What I was wondering is if I went for a Rieger RS4 rep bumper that didn't have them, so they aren't actually broken. Would it be picked up on MOT? I suppose it comes down to how good the tester is...

[BaSen]

Not sure if mine passes the MOT yet, soon time to see.
Hopefully they aren't that important to have in sweden..

but any xenon headlight needs to have a washer in order to pass its mot. sure a tenner in the back pocket would do the job.

That is the problem with rep bumpers... they dont have the headlight washers...

The reiger looks okay, still nothing on the original though

Like chalk & cheese :'(

Rieger can be bought with holes for the washers... and I agree when you see them next to one another the genuine one has much crisper lines.

but its still a con. Doin that is no better then grafting an e46 beemer on to the front of an e36, and Nearly as sad as those MR2 ferrari reps that you see. Theres no need to try and update the car like that, just keep it clean and a couple of subtle bits here and there and itll look sorted. I saw a mint condition all original e30 M3 in red a bit ago and it looked amazing. All it had were a set of deep highly polished BBS split rims on it (not the standard ones) been waxed to death, and although you could argue it looked dated, it still had loadsa of presence and was just nice to look at.

I own one of those MR2 Ferrari things you’re going on about

Real thing would cost more to service more to fuel as well.

Also wouldnt be as reliable as a toyota. lol

It cost me around £15k in all so nowhere near the cost of the real thing and she’s a Turbo too, so she’s quite quick too.

Not every one love these cars but I think she’s alright and the later ones look even better.

Yellow car is mine.

Doc - there nothing worse than a wannabe

Seriously tho looks good but youve gone too far with Ferrari badges. Debadge and let people wonder.

[saf]

Has it got a toyota interior, or did you go full out and give it a ferrari rep interior?

If you gave it a ferrari interior, have you got any pics? always wanted to see what it was like.

[docurley]

I love telling people it’s a MR2 most never believe me until I pop the hood.

And before you ask no my Audi has no badges at all.

[saf]

Does it sound like a ferrari?
