Who else has a silver MR2?
I'm interested in seeing some pics of what you've done with your cars.
I'm still not sure if i like the silver of mine, and i'm considering a respray later.
My body and paint is in really good condition at the moment, so there's no hurry.
I originally wanted a black SW20, but it seems like everyone has them lol.
What's everyone's thought on colours, and whether i should keep mine original?

Hi Rick,I was passing through Ceduna, Thursday lunch Time & saw a Silver late model SW20 beside Betta Electrical & guessed it may have been yours.In my opinion the silver looks great. I wouldn't change.
My '96 SW20 is the factory dark green, & I wouldn't change that either.

That was definitely mine :)
You should have dropped in to say hi.
Are you coming back through sometime?
There's not many MR2 enthusiasts around here lol.
 

I nearly bought a green one ( i loved the dark green ) in Melbourne, but this 97 silver one was in great condition, totally original with only 125,000 kms on it for under $10k. I couldn't go past it lol. I had looked a several in Melbourne and Sydney before buying mine. I've got a Beams half cut on the way now :)

Hi Again Rick,
Back in Perth Saturday.
Spent yesterday cleaning up wife's car, in which we were travelling.
Don't know if & when we will be doing the road trip again.
My thought is to not go too drastic with mods.
One of the AW11 people on the forum uses a by line something like "you can't improve on perfection".
I feel like that about the SW20.
Best Wishes
 

I agree with not wanting to change much. I am getting a Beams engine for it, but want to keep any changes to the car within Toyota & TRD ideals. I might change the springs to TRD ones (if i can find them) and change the shocks and wheels/tyres, but thats about it.
I hope your trip was ok.
There don't seem to be any silver MR2 owners around... I thought the colour might have been pretty common?
(not as common as black or red though - seems to be a lot of them on the forum lol)
 
Cheers
 

Rick,
black Australian delivered MR2's are actually not that common. Most you see are JDM grey imports. Qld Club technical adviser (Scope) has a '96 Bathurst that's silver with black roof. This was a factory option and is really rare colour combo
cheers
Steve

I've also got a sonic shadow mr2 which I bought a little while ago here in WA and seems to be pretty uncommon

Have you got any pics ?

There she is. Sorry it's a quickie with the handphone. Rims are still a decision i'm working on but these handle nice compared to the stockies :) Two tone a black roof
