In the picture it does seem a little off.
Anyways my spoiler is a different shade of yellow, can't tell in the pictures though.
I'm glad you guys like the pictures.

I sincerly hope not. I bought the car used 13K km's. And no accidents. The other side of the car has been painted, due to vandalism but that side has not ben touched. I've never noticed a color difference on that side of the car, maybe the picture did something. Anyways I'm going to check that. That picture is wierd.
actually picture NEVER lies
you can tell new paints and old paints
and not only the pic above is weird
and this one too
and this pic~ i can also tell the front is painted too

Honestly as far as I know the car has never been in an accident. The driver side door, rear panel and rear bumper have been painted, from vandalism. Also the trunk lid and front bumper have been painted from stolen emblems, that's why I don't have them any more. That side has not been touched as far as I know. I went and looked at my car after seeing the photos and I can not see a difference from the passenger side door to the rear panel. The front bumper compared to the hood is a different story. Those pictures are just wierd though, don't know what else to say about those pictures.
isn't that a big discussion awhile ago saying that some CW R always have slightly off colour doors in the pictures (especailly in somewhat dark lighting)? I don't think it necessary means it has been in accident even if it's off a bit.

yes yes yes. For some reason alot of cars do the same thing no matter what color. It depends on the lighting and quality of the camera. It may have something to do with the flash or the machines that process the photos. This isnt the first time this has came up.
Itr244: I think your wrong about the car being repainted.

damnit. Host it the we todd did way next time.
MR2 Turbos ******* own. That's a nice 93T
Yellow's not my favorite colour but still.
As for the colour varience, a lot of tegs look off in pics, I wouldn't worry about it.. nor would I feel like I had to say it was in an accident like itr0948234832423nobrainsousethenumber2143343.

MR2's are notorious for having **** poor paint. None of the non-metallic colours (ie. red, black, white, yellow) had clear coats, and they tend to fade after about 5-10 years. My car's paint is all original, and it's horrible. Here's a pic of my car:

The front quarter panel and door have been repainted due to an accident. Look at them compared to my rear quarter. The different is much more noticeable in person. My engine lid and spoiler are also a different shade compared to the side of the car.

yeah but i am just saying the paint on your car looks like it's painted again weather it's from the accident or not~
I`d never get an MR2. Working on them is like playing twister haha
Dave's rules to working on a MR2.
1. Remove all emissions components.
2. Remove A/C and Power Steering.
That's really all you need to do
they aren't the easiest car to work on for sure, but not the hardest either.

We parked under a lamp for better lighting, thats the only thing I can think of for the two shades of yellow. You can see the lamp post beind our cars. I'll try to get more pictures when it's sunny out.
