oh dear I know the owners daughter, thought I'd seen it somewhere before! used to cringe everytime I saw that car..

I posted the link in a thread a few weeks ago.

I think it was one about 'when is a car not standard anymore?'.

How on Earth can anyone take a limited edition and turn it into something totally different to the original?

'Mad' doesn't even start to describe their mentality.

thenewgalaxy

As the owner of a modified limited edition I totally agree with the Cambrian Fortuitous Fellow

I have to say that I really don't like what has been done to that WR1...

You can take a car further in the direction of what the creators of the limited edition car originally intended but I am afraid to say that car is nothing in any way shape or form a WR1 anymore.

I would take a step further back on that stance if he had all the original bits in a box in the garage but I doubt it could be easily taken back to standard.

LuckyWelshchap

Have the BarryBoys got hold of it yet?

Not sure but the badly modified subaru page of face book had it a while back

LuckyWelshchap

I have to say that if it sells mine's going up for sale as a highly modded F40.

I had my chargespeed kit on long before that

LuckyWelshchap

He might just as well have advertised it as 'the first (or only?) WR1 in the world to have a complete makeover'.

I have to say that this just staggers me.

You buy a limited edition because it's a limited edition, because you like it, because you see it as an investment or for whatever reason, but surely you buy it for what it is, not for what you want to make it look like, something completely different from its erm... relatively unique shape and form?

Perhaps he thinks making it totally unique would increase its value??

(And if the seller didn't do it, what on Earth was he doing buying such a car?)

but the wr1 was a crap limited edition

still no excuse for that abortion

LuckyWelshchap

And there was me thinking about turning my car into the first WR1-coloured non-WR1 in the UK.

Perhaps not.

Looks like one of the late spec MG ZR's with those wheels and louvers. While the MG actually looked pretty cool, this...

No record of that registration on the site (surprisingly....)

BULLITT

Looks horrid, I'm in agreement as well, it's not a WR1 anymore and what a waste of a WR1 it is. I'll be surprised if it sells, especially for that price!

LuckyWelshchap

There's always one.

Thank God I didn't go for it then.

(On a serious note, I don't do sacrilege )

£64000.....This is the repair bill for Halfords front window?

You may also be shocked to hear that loads of Euro-Spec cars came to the UK in that colour.

Judging aside.. What is quite interesting is the numbers of WR1's remaining. If what he's written is true, almost half the WR1 population no longer exists. That's a big percentage of a ltd edition which you'd expect to be cared for.

Tidgy

so import hawk wrx are very close to wr1, close but not same paint code.

ignore the side cos of the red refelection
