Absolute Sacrilege.

He's changed the front end so much that the bonnet's got a huge gap above the front light.

How can you just remove an STIV spoiler. Beyond belief.

As for the front bumper and too small white wheels (that's a criticism of size & colour), it just makes you give up hope really.

Didn't think there were any V-Ltd V6's.

If there were, it's hard to tell if it used to be a 5 or a 6.

STi5 V-Lims are limited to 1000, I've got #950

This looks like a STi6 though as the centre console and dial surround is blue.

Guess they must have made 2000 of the V6's then.

Lets hope the other 1999 are better examples than this one!

Question

I don't know if it is just me, but the cracks don't seem to match on the two piccies of the bumper.

Oh dear, minimalism and colour coding gone senile.

Shame, probably was a great car - and still could be......if the person buys all the bits from the 'for sale' section. Holy **** is the side skirts and bumper spats missing as well???!!

Mental.

Nah, RA's don't have the side skirts on them, here's mine to prove it



The high level STi5 rear spoiler was also an option on these cars, coming with the STi4 mid one as standard.
Luckily mine had the BFO one on it

Also, some of the earlier RA's didn't have a rear spoiler either.
These car's were designed for the rally market, so were shipped with the bear minimum.
No excuse for s0dding up this STi6 though
