Do you have a picture of that kit. Someone have a finished car with the Mark 111?

I actually think a matt black TR7 would look kinda cool especially with the body kit but... I feel that if you did it in satin black you would be able to have a similar look it would be just as much of a beast you could also use cleaning products on the car to protect the metal better and the local kids might not use it as chalkboard
also matt black paint marks very easily
but thats just my view


It rides again..... and again wehey!!!!!!!

Of course I am completely against bodykits - cars should be exactly original at all times [;)][;)]

Not a body "kit" but I like the look of it.

I like that flat panel under the trunk, versus the molded piece for the lights that we have.

I've been looking to do something like that and using mid-80's BMW tail lights.

Okay, I just thought that S+S had a different kit. I also purchased a MK3 kit from Rimmers. But, I've seached for pictures and haven't found many. I see pics of the MK2 like jclay just sent.
Send your pics of MK3 guys! [:)]
I'm doing a full ground-up restoration, so the body kit will blend in.... not a bolt on.

Agree with Gaz. Matt black will be a tw@t to keep looking good. Anything from dead flies and bird sh!t just stain the paint, and don't even think about polishing, it makes it look even worse [:(]. Satin black is the way to go, a nice sheen even if polished [:)].

Hey Rocky, before you go ahead having it painted, have a look into getting it vinyl wrapped. Have heard some people saying it can work out cheaper than a respray [:D].
