Ohh! Hvor får man kjøpt?! Den fronten der var faktisk perfekt 
- 90' Mercedes 300TE (Skatten)
var en her på forumet som meinte det var ein opel omega front...
burde vere eit billig og svert bra alternativ til denne bilen...
er foresten heilt enig med deg i at dinna fronten va perfekt...
heilt klart en av dei beste frontane e har sett til bilen...
ødela ingenting! såg bare ut som om det skulle ver sann!!!!!!!!
lurer på om noen høggere har slikt liggende...
skal sjekke....

her står hvordan det er gjort.... plus noen bilder til...
After owning my MR2 for a few years and deciding that it was in need of an overhaul, I completely restored the shell. The problem was not welding, it was finding the panels for it. Either they were not available or the dealership wanted me to re-mortgage the house to pay for them. So I decided to do it “on the cheap” (is there any other way?) As usual the rear arches were completely gone, I now know that these panels are available through the club but back then I didn’t, so I had to do something other than fill them with bodyfiller. After a few weeks of looking at countless arches on other cars that I knew I could get panels for, I saw an old MK1 Toyota Corolla and the panel didn’t look too different. In fact the arch lip was exactly the same the only difference being the overall shape of the arch - it is more oval than the round one on the MR2. So 2 inches of arch was cut out of the middle of each panel and welded back together again. With all the rot removed from the old arches they were welded in, and with a small amount of filler they look as good as new. Cost of these panels is £12.50 each from any bodyshop/panel supplier. Next came the sills, I thought these would be available but apparently not. So once again I hunted for another car that shared the same, or very close, sill shape. After 2 weeks I saw a MK3 Escort and took some measurements. The sills are exactly the same profile as MR2 ones but they are about an inch too big, so the top inch was cut off the full length of each sill and then shortened by about 8 inches. They were welded in and although they are now covered by bodykit, they are a very good replacement. These sills are £16 a pair. After a further week of welding the car was solid again but I was looking for a new front spoiler for it as I thought the old one was a bit “boring”. By sheer chance I was playing about with an old front bumper from a Vauxhall Carlton and the profile looked very close. This made me think about trying to fit it as bodykit suppliers were talking about hundreds of pounds for an after market spoiler. The profile is exactly the same but a Carlton is about 8 inches wider than an MR2 so this was chopped out of the middle. Also the top 4 inches of bumper was removed, as I only needed the lower section to fit neatly under my MR2 bumper. In fact it’s a flush fit and although I haven’t blended it into the original (this would only crack anyway) it looks like its always been on there. Believe it or not the bumper actually wraps around the wheel arches in exactly the right place. I’m making this sound an easy job but it took 2 weeks of trial and error fitting/removing/trimming/adjusting to get it right. The Carlton bumper consists of an inner and outer section, the inner section is mostly cut away near the wings to make it a good fit and is secured to the original valence with bolts on the front and large screws in the side. This gives the outer section something to be attached too as the clips that held the top of the outer section are removed when the bumper was first cut. Before fitting I removed two sections of the valence to accommodate the fog lights so they had a space to recess into. I wish I’d taken some pictures while the work was being done, as other members now want the same bumper fitting. With the outer section clipped back in at the bottom and countersunk and screwed at the top its very much trial and error to make both sections meet in the middle. These were joined with bridging pieces and once again screwed together with a small amount of filler to cover any gaps. The new front end is now 1.5” lower than the original but still clears speed humps and kerbs - just! and I think it gives the car a facelift, not that MK1’s need it, I love them standard too. The fog lights are wired up to main beam at the moment for two reasons, my headlights are crap and I was too lazy at the time to fit a separate switch. This can be left up to you but I enjoy seeing where I’m going at night! For further info email me at: paulwoods@mk1turbo.fsnet.co.uk
