Complete shed. That's had lots of paint by the look of it. Look at the difference between front wing and door.
Doesn't look to have brembos either.

I don't think that's a WR1 at all mate.
As someone else has pointed out, it's got what appear to be WRX 4 pots.
It's also got a WRX scoop. Bad copy by the look of it.

So many things not right with that one. Wrong front and rear brakes.
Wrong wheels. No Sti badge in the grill.

No interior pics.

Always suspicious when people say 100% genuine and similar phrases. Why say that? Why say anything?

Definitely a "special" edition!

It left the factory as a WR1, but looks a proper pile of crap to me. Shame.

Its a real shame some poor clueless sucker will probably end up buying this piece of sh*t!.....Hopefully a tag like ...

"Subaru Impreza WRX STI WR1 Number 470 of 500 reg number E004 ZKV"

........will get picked up by search engine bots if a prospective buyer decides to carry out a search on the car and may lead them to this site/thread.

Wow, so bloody glad I saw this as spoke to the chap about it earlier. I'm looking for a blob STI and this looked mighty cheap so got me interested but from the start I had a niggle I couldn't put my finger on, just didn't seem right. And low and behold.. this thread and the other one confirming it's a right munter!

Thanks all.
