Replica 355
Spotted this 355 replica the other day. Not a brilliant pic. To be honest I don't think the car looks that good.
Would this have started life as an MR2? http://img32.photobucket.com/albums/...i/355_Copy.jpg |
Actually, I think that very car was featured in EVO #65. It is indeed an MR2.
|
I have seen alot worse.
|
Indeed. If it's the same featured in evo it's for sure a good replica... always a replica of course ;)
|
I like the way there is so many Ferrari badges all over it...trying to prove what it is...or isnt as the case maybe :wink:
|
I could not tell that it was a replica if you would not have mentioned it.
Love it, DOn |
Have you noticed the colour of the brakes? They seem to have a kind of rust on it...don't you think?
________ HALF-BAKED |
It's just for being stopped a while..
If you stop a car with the brake disks wet.. they get that look in a week or less. You can see it's obviously a replica... A Ferrari would never have such SMALL brake disks!!!! And the front isn't exactely the same, because of the headlights... |
Indeed he could have invested in some bigger brake discs...
Anyway, would you do that to your car? Because, I really can´t understand where´s the pleasure of owning such thing! :roll: |
Here is a rear view of the same car. Sorry about the quality of the pic. I have rubbed out the number plate as the car was parked outside a neighbour's house. One thing I noticed straight away was the size of the seat head rests compared to the rear windscreen.

Whether or not its perfect is part of the challenge tho isn't it? doing a project like that would be something i would consider undertaking. not just to fake driving a real Ferrari but to see how close i could get it to the real thing. but i would def make changes such as brake discs and seats etc. are there companies that sell conversion kits like this? are there better kits and junky ones??

I have seen alot better and i've seen alot worse,
but the best replicas only fail in the interior, i dont get it.. they go so far, put so much into it, yet they cant make a non SHITTY interior... thats weird... btw- this is not one of the better looking replicas... |
It's no so bad, but it's a replica...so it's not for me. BTW, there are a lot worse
|
I've seen much worse, and you can tell that it's a second gen MR2 if you look at the slope of the roof towards the rear buttresses...the windows are straight off the MR2...the wheels are a little funky...and as for the brakes...if you have steel brake disks (like most mass-production cars) then when you leave them out in the rain or even in a humid atmosphere, they get corroded...doesn't really make a difference though, the first time you use them the rust gets abraded right off.
