    Supercharger Styling Parts and other US Japanese MR2 Mk1 Parts

    After an engine lid off a Supercharger.

    Also after the rear lighs and pannel. Are these a direct replacment for the UK Cars?

    Also anything Genuine Toyota that can be used to make a Mk1 a little diferent to the UK cars. Will consider US parts and some aftermarket.

    Thanks

    The Supercharger lights are actually standard US lights for cars '87+ whether they are natually aspirated or supercharged. You can pick em up from the US as a set. But if you are picky you'll want the boot lock too and these are as rare as rocking horse shit.

    Something like this

    I see, thanks for the info. I saw some US lights off what may have been the earlier MK1's. There were very similar to the UK lights but with a diferent number plate pannel. Also there were circles in the red part of the lense, from memory.

    Any idea what is required to change a UK car to Supercharger or US Lights. Has it been done?

    Many thanks for your input

    Also if anybody has any of these parts then be in touch, thanks

    You have to drill new holes for the bolts, you can re-use the gaskets if you don't muller them when you take them off.

    Many people have done it, there are many threads on here. Oukie is the best man to ask. I have done mine too.

    FYI: The SC engine lid locks to the body in a different location than the NA version, and substantial modifications are required to make it fit right. You'll have to google it for how to do it.

    The lock bar on the lid needs to be moved left or right, can't remember which, or the locking mechanism on the body needs to be moved. Can't say that I recall the details. MR2oc.com probably has a few write ups on it, and that is where I have seen threads on it before.
