Round Four,

WRC S7 replica Headlight Bezels.

Also from England these nice parts..







Off course I need nice lights for the bezels..
An email to Prodrive and there where the Hella part numbers, thnx John!







Turn lights are located in the front bumper, so the headlights don’t need them…





The back and front complete, BTW the bezels are going to be BLACK !!!





Thanks again…


Next up…

Okay , i will wish you well and get beter soon...

Saw your scooby ,
it isn't really a WRC headlight I thought
But the Prodrive UK300 (with the turn light)??

I think that Prodrive has taken this headlight for a sample,
to make the WRC ones... (without turnlights)
Just like the front bumper that also was a Prodrive STI one...

Update time...

Round Six,

In search of a WRC S7 (replica) Hood…

This I found in England at RallyTech (Chorney)..

There is a guy could John who helped me a lot… (THNX John !!!)

This was the hood I ordered by RallyTech…





Looks really like this…



First after many emails, made a appointment at RallyTech.
the trip begins at Rotterdam (europoort) and with the ferry to Hull.





Because the WRC S7 bumper is designed without a hood lock,
because off the intercooler in the grille..

That’s why I hade to make a adjustment…



The bumper really turned out very nice, don’t you think..?



Also saw a very nice ***…



Once At RallyTech it went very fast…
The hood was mounted in 20 minutes and off we where…

on the way back to the Ferry, my girlfriend decided to go shopping…

So I could make some pictures off the new hood…



Back at the ferry…







And on the ferry…first in row on the grid!!!



Just some pic’s..





Very happy with the first results, next my hero will go ahead with
the fitment of all the seams…so every thing will fit properly…



Next the fitment off the WRC S7 Headlight bezels, but first…


Also purchased some bonnet pins, because it will still be a road going
car I needed some locks on the hood …

I choose these.. (with locks).. also with these no problems with the police…
