I'd say the one on the right...
one on the left letter u.
the doors are straight and the bumper is not blended in aswell as the other one.
V,from the colour and shine,the itlains are crap at painting and colour matching/making,U has a better fish and crisper colour...so think thats the mr2and arnt Ferrari calipars mounted on the front side... not the rear side of the disc... V has that too...

u (the right) is the MR2 - nobody in their right minds would fit angel eye fog lamps to a genuine ferrari...

nope, changed my mind.
the small discs and obvious spacers are a give away - V is the MR2
The one on the left (u) is the real one, the right (v) is the fake. The bumper on v is all moulded in, where as on the real Ferrari (u) its separate. C pillar and rear window also gives the game away.
I'd also like to add...7" spacers! OUCH

My money is on V being the MR2 the rear window isnt right, car is to stubby and short, the curve on the rear wheel arch, wheels dont sit right in the arch, the Ferrari crest on the wings, the car is right hand drive and the ferrari is left, note the wipers sweep,
This looks better to me

The right-hand car is the replica, you can tell by the shape of the leading edge of the door. The curve at the top gives it away!!
Also, the front bumper/wing looks 1-piece, istead of seperate panels!

Yeah U is definatly the ferrari the above pic shows this and if you look at the rear pics the exhausts gaps show U to the the real 355! Its the best rep ive ever seen though lol
It's def a very good replica, but to me there's just something about it that's not right and I was able to tell straight away!!
pfft why was a decent MR2 making it look like a ferrari ??
Aye! waste of a decent sports car, now it will just be laughed at (although a v good replica, on the outside)
Bet that illusion is shattered when he turns the key!
Makes me wonder why someone who owns a genuine F355 would also own/build a rep, I bet the actual one is his bosses/neighbours lol

U is the real one. The fitment of the bumper gives it away, along with the brakes, and the fact that one is Ferrari red, and the other is Toyota red lol

Also did anyone notice that the fake is actually lower than the original.

10-10-06, 11:33 AM
crap toyota chassis wouldnt handle like the real thing.
Matt2107
10-10-06, 11:34 AM
Nope... plus a ferrari doesnt need to be uber low as it has properly set up quality suspension.

v as it looks a bit squashed
V is the real ferrari, the mr2 replica is too well blended in (note front bumper/grill position) , the wheels are level with the arch's, mirrors sit higher on the f355 and lower on the mr2 & you wouldnt lower a ferrari.
real 355 \/

Yeah, U is definatly the ferrari, from the side view its easy to see (to me anyway) proportions are all wrong. AND the real one appears to be a LHD, both interior pics are for the replica (he isnt showing u the ferrari dash)
lol as already said v is the fae one , i know this cos it was at bolton cruise a couple of month back lol
wisewood
10-10-06, 02:22 PM
thats because he isnt selling the ferrari - why show the ferrari dash lol
cavturbomike
10-10-06, 02:26 PM
cos it would be the big giveaway!
wisewood
10-10-06, 02:37 PM
its not a question of actually playing a game of spot the difference is it though. he is selling an MR2 ferrari look-a-like and taken side-by-side pics to illustrate how close it comes.
In short - close, but not close enough lol

V Is Deffo The Mr2 The Door And Wing Are A Mile Out If I Was Buying A Real One I Deffo Wouldent Buy One With Doors Like That
the right 1 has the side shirts detatched from the bumper. the 1 on the left doesnt. so the 1 on the right is the fake
also the window wipers go different ways
dave_rand
10-10-06, 05:29 PM
U is deffo the real one you can see at the top of the door near the wing where the full door pannel has been joined so the car is wider also there is no gap between the bumper on V probabley because they have joined the bumpers to the wing
