Yep, those are the ones I have gone for, with the chrome rim.

Also look like the alfa ones 156, gtv.

Peggyontherun how do you do your carbon fibre ? Is it the transfer stuff on top of a fibreglass shell ? Since whatever it looks good !

I have decided to run with the colours used in the Reventon
Picked up the closest matching colours in spray packs
To use in the dash it's only a mock up for moulding so
It won't matter if it doesn't look any good..

I have almost finished...a few bits to tidy up.
I painted it in reventon colours just to see how it looks....and I dont like it :(
Its only glossy to stop the mould from sticking but i think plain black would have looked better.

They look really good!
How are you going on with the door card to dash line up? The A pillar on the mr2 gets in the way of the front end of the door cards just in front of the speaker area. I am also having trouble with the split line that goes through the door cards and is supposed to line up with the top/bottom split line on the dash.
The MR2 dash is lots higher than the murci dash would have been so the two lines dont match well. Are you planning to make them join up or leave them seperate.

keep putting up pics of your install mate, hope you dont mind, but im using them for reference for how to do mine (Im a bit behind you on the interior fit!)

Thanks for the positive coments :)
I haven't really had any problems with clearance around the speaker area
You can't see it in this photo but I have droped the speaker section dead flat
To allow for a speaker to be mounted on top of the door trim, it's very tight up near the mirror sail
So I will have to look at maybe bringing the door trim up over the mirror bolts
And to be onist I haven't looked at the splice matching with the dash, a lot of work
To go on them yet.
I have started on the centre console but I think that's where it's going to end.

for those who havent been following this build i some what finished the whole thing and then decided I wasnt all that happy with it, so the centure vents, dash pod and handle have been redone and looking alot better.
