I've seen MANY rubbish replicas/kits in my life, but this one ain't bad... what do you think?

And here's the Real Deal (not bad differences, definitely doesn't look like the cheap Countach Replicas of the 80's that were HIDEOUS laughing stock ****mobiles)

But most of the rest are crap, as per usual :rolleyes:

I think i would question its size, the replica looks rather small? Real Murci's are absolutely huge.
 
At first glance, yeah, but there were enough mistakes I could spot before I even noticed you had included a real one to compare.

such as...?

I'm hard pressed to spot them tbh
 
Front bumper vents are the wrong shape, as it the front bumper itself / front lights / rear arch shape and curve is wrong / front windows has the wrong width borders / mirrors are wrong / seats / doorcards and thats just at first look.

really :confused:

Front bumper is completely wrong, rear of the car should be wider than the front, windscreen shape is just comical, wing mirrors are wrong, side repeater is wrong, not sure what is going on with the chrome edging to the lights, etc etc etc

Need I go on?
 
As Roy Walker would say... "It's good....but it's not right!"

Anything more than the slightest glance and you can tell it's a replica.
 
I noticed the silver light surrounds (wrong)

And only noticed the other differences once comparing them to the real pic.

I wouldn't notice any of them if it was moving (unless its got a n MR2 engine :D )

Seems like a good one anyway
 
I think the front lights a wrong, whats that white band around the edge for?

Maybe needs lowering too at the back end especially.

Having said that, really need to see it in the flesh but its a good go.
 
As replicas go its a reasonable attempt I suppose.

As other people have said though, anything more than a glance and the mistakes become obvious, it would have to go flying past (with the right sound track :p ) to get away without being rumbled.
 
There aren't many details that are wrong, but the proportions and the shapes are all out. It looks close, but there's something missing, it doesn't have the perfect shape. Looks like it's been copied from pictures rather than actual measurements.

Bit like the original then

:D

I bet that murcy rep looks pretty good in the flesh.. yeah some minor details off... but it doesnt look that far off full size to me, there is one in nicosia with some 25 yr old plonker driving it... gah for rich parents...

Guessing its yank v8 powered? http://www.cyclone-automobile.com/

:cool:
 
The curve of the roof is not quite right if you look carefully.

But if it drove past it would look enough like the real deal..

Not sure, MR2 would be the usual guess, done a quick google and that company have several lambo replicas based on toyotas but this one, I dont know about.

Its a good attempt, but its size and shape overall doesnt immitate the real car. They have worked hard on the details but missed the over all shape in my opinion.
