Philipp · 12-15-2007, 05:01 AM

Hi folks,

I want to say hello to everybody!

My name is Philipp, I'm from Cologne, Germany, and I study economic-engineering.

Thats my car:

Still a lot to do!

Mister2.2 · 12-15-2007, 11:23 AM

Straight and clean, I like it. Which wing do you have on it currently? Welcome to the board.

jhauschild · 12-15-2007, 01:05 PM

Hey there. Car is sweet.! I used to live in Bitburg and Koosbuesch.... I'm sure the MR2's go great with the winding country roads.

Davis · 12-15-2007, 04:36 PM

Looking good! Welcome.

Ignarius · 12-15-2007, 07:29 PM

Wow... that first pic location is absolutely amazing!

Hi Philipp

Thank you guys!

@Mister2.2: The TRD was too large, so temporary the Rev.III- Spoiler is mounted.
But this one will give way to a much more discreet version, I'm working on:

@jaushild: Great. Bitburg is just an hour away!
Yes, the MR2 rocks with our roads!

When did you move to the states?

@Ignarus: Thank you. That's in front of our soccer stadium. Next year I'll make some new/better pictures with my new Pentax K10D in front of the stadium.

@Andres: Danke für den Tip! Schön hier!

We left Germany back in 81. I still have plenty of family over there yet. I was 9 years old at the time. Yup, it's been a long time....

Philipp · 12-17-2007, 05:22 AM

Really a long time ago mate! And your last name identifies your roots!

GASPS! I want that spoiler sooooooooooooooo BAD!!! Is it a custom?

Philipp · 12-17-2007, 07:17 PM

@jhauschild: Wow - you are more German than me!

An Austrian mother with a German father.

Do you still speak German? Did you visit your familiy anytime?

@EL PAALO: Thank you! But what means "Tomish"?

@hmong337: Thank you, too! Which spoiler do you mean? The ducktail?
This one?

Yes, it's selfmade, respectively I sit on it! On the pictures you can see the prototype, but I've also already made a negative form.
I just need a body to put them together.

If you or anybody else want further information how to build, let me know (it's pretty easy)! But my one will probably stay a unicum!

Paalo just means it looks similar to the Tom's duckbill (lower) spoiler

yes, the ducktail spoiler. if you don't mind, please pm me with details. that's got to be the nicest, more sleekest tail i've ever seen.

did you put rear fender-flares on you car? it looks pretty wide
