As per the Greer Sport site, it's WRC panelled, it's not a genuine WRC. If it was it would be £200K+

Does look very nice though.

Perhaps that's where Prodrive went wrong towards the end, they were getting parts from Halfords

Still think it's the best look for this generation car.

I take it that "panelled" they mean stuck on with superglue.... The rear wide body does not look good from the back.

Not even close to a wrc car........ tut tut!!!!

There's **** all WRC about that car apart from a body kit that loosely resembles the WRC one.

That said its still a nice looking car.

They are Genuine WRC Prodrive panels. Look at the difference.

It is a nice car but there is very little 'WRC' happening under the bonnet, some poor person with little knoweledge will end up buying it thinking it's a genuine WRC car when it's clearly not!

Totally agree with you Dunk, the advert is very misleading, tbh its a standard car with a dodgy (losing power no doubt) induction kit fitted, the suspension and AP's are nice and well the body kit... but its not worth that sort of cash for a 2001 JDM STI that is advertised as a wrc car, Daz also has it totally right, absolutely nothing in common with a WRC car, and some poor sucker is going to fall for it when they could actually have a decent (much newer) JDM for that money.
