    Karmeleon by Paul Woods

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mk1-mr2-ka...51288679527%26

    This car was originally made by Paul back in 2002/2003. It is a bit of a marmite car, but I quite like it.

    Interesting colour.




    (trying to follow Thumper's mother's words: If you can't say something nice, don't say nothing at all. Which is a double negative but you get my drift)

    Personally, i think it is horrible but each to their own.

    I also noticed this one...

    Again, i really dont like it but it looks like good quality work and has had a lot of money thrown at it at some point.

    I much prefer the colour of the second one, in fact I love the colour of the second one. I am such a girl, just going for colour.

    However the issue for me would be the fact it has supercharger decals and is not a supercharger. The engine lids are not raised and he clearly states it however the advert says " but modeled brilliantly to look like one."

    The only visible exterior differences between an N/A and a SC are different rear lights and raised engine lids. They do not have those body kits on them.

    I do really dislike someone having stickers on a car to imply it is a different car.

    This made me smile

    " I for one applaud any modification that makes our cars special (although fitting a 2ltr turbo may be a tad too far) and this kit certainly does that."

    laughable quote really when you consider that paul's built the MRX

    paul think you need to revisit this page and make some minor alterations to the text in that amazingly detailed "how to" guide
