Nice!!!

Irishpimpdude · 13-09-2006 9:37am

Hahaha that is just class....

smash · 13-09-2006 9:40am

I hate replicas... the total price is £9,060 (€13,376) so why pay €22,950 for it...... even after VRT is's nowhere near that...

A glance at the roofline alone tells you it's not a ferrari. €22k for a 10 year old MR2 with a bad bodykit? Bodykit's rarely add to the value of a car, but bad ones...

check the 2nd link they are identical

roughan · 13-09-2006 10:23am

spot the replica

they're not, the MR2 is a different shape. The rear window is different, the bonet shape is different, the MR2 is shorter.... There are a lot of differences.

without starting a row or you picking holes in everything i say
let the pics speak for themselves
i just created this post as i thought the looked good
to see the replica and a real ferrari side by side click on this link

http://www.355kits.com/detail/front.php

then click on the "extreme kit ferrari"
and it will compare the car at each angle to a real one
and from what i can see it looks identical
Bonnett,roof,rear etc

as you rightly put it there are a few crap kits but the extreme one seems the best
i might get one as a second car for fun but for now ill just stick with my Boxster :cool:

smash · 13-09-2006 11:11am

get one for fun? you have a boxster...... why drag down your image with an overpriced replica 355. At least do it with an overpriced 360 replica on a 406!

I guess a trip to specsavers is in order then. The replica is A, the differences from front to back on both cars….

Front bupmer on the real ferrari drops straight down and the air intake is not visible. The top edge of the bumper on the fake protrudes much further forward in the centre of the car than at the corners.

The bonnet on the fake has a subtle kick in it compared to the smooth lines of the real one and just like the bumper, the leading edge of the bonnet on the fake protrudes much further forward in the centre of the car than at the corners.

The shut line at the front edge of the door goes right to the bottom of the car on the fake but stops above the side skirt on the real one. It looks as if the 'side skirt' on the fake may be attached to the door.

The windscreen on the fake has a greater curve from side to side so it looks fatter in side profile

The roof of the fake is much thicker

The B pillar of the fake is much thicker

The shut line at the rear edge of the door on the fake is almost straight down, the real one has a nice curve.

The shape of the rear quarter window is wrong

The slope of the c pillar is too steep on the fake

The badge in front of the rear wheel has a bigger aspect ratio than the fake

The c pillar meets the haunches of the car too far forward on the fake

The spoiler is missing on the fake

The rear bumper protrudes too far on the fake compared to the nice smooth rear end on the ferrari

I remember that one on ebay and the seller had the guts to write "spot the difference"... wtf, just look at it...

Kersh · 13-09-2006 1:15pm

Either buy an Mr2, or buy a Ferrari. Dont buy an overpriced pile of gik... which will have us all laughing. I saw a fake in Limerick a while ago and I laughed out loud, alot.

smash · 13-09-2006 1:17pm

Kersh, how's the 308 going?

Signpost · 13-09-2006 1:26pm

I'm embarrased on behalf of who ever was sad enough to do that to a car. Ruined an MR2 and made an embarrasement of Ferrari. Wonder what the tax book and insurances say for that "car"

roughan · 13-09-2006 1:48pm

I think that was one of the bad kits
try doing it with this one
http://www.355kits.com/detail/front.php

roughan · 13-09-2006 1:49pm

then click on the extreme kit and compare to the real ferrari side by side
they are identical

smash · 13-09-2006 2:10pm

here's the first major flaw...

roughan · 13-09-2006 3:01pm

do u not think it is good in any way at all ?

As I say, don't pretend to have something that you don't have.

smash · 13-09-2006 3:20pm

it's not the worst, here's a really bad one...

http://www.carzone.ie/usedcars/index.cfm?fuseaction=car&carid=465177

but I just don't like replicas, they're kinda sad...

Kersh · 13-09-2006 3:20pm

Ye, never saw the point of that.
