The picture is too small to make it out properly.

My fave is the mica red one posted a few months back in the gallery. it was a US car 2.5 N/A but it looked simply amazing for a Subaru.

Now that's what the MY05 should have looked like, never mind the silly little plastic wheelarch extensions. Clearly they can do the job properly if they want to

That is the subaru that i want to own, Ill go to Prodrive in Banbury and give then £600,000 of my heard earned and buy a new ex WRC rally Impreza (like 03,04 model) ...pigs might fly.

Anyway to the pic, yes it is really gaergous and it is how all scoobys should look with real blistered wheel arches.

It is how a Prodrive version should look + 2.5 US engine - lets call it a WR2 - lets call it £34k - any takers?

I am sure if we get 10 customers lined up they will oblige?

I would have either of those too - I really like the classic one.

D'ya think Prodrive would swap mine for the blue one?

It can be done to any road car.

2 replacement front wings from the WRC car,
and the rear extensions are bonded to the body as 2 parts (door and quarter panel)

Wider front and rear bumpers should also be used, but standard ones may also work. Not 100% sure on that yet.

The rear panels don't actually come out much further from the body, but because they are more boxed shape, they look like you do.

Only real problem is the fuel filler cap, as this isn't on the rally panels.

Are the bits as expensive as the corresponding 22B bits, or is there a stash somewhere for when the WRC boys manage to trash them? (Or both? )

I'd love to know what make & model those wheels are on the red classic - just what I'm looking for. Bet they're not available in the Uk . . .
