Does Someone Else Want To Tell This Guy - Or Shall I?

[rallyfever]

Hi All,

Just found this on Pistonheads and had to have a wee chuckle. In top Gear talk "Some say that £65,000 has been spent on this baby, some say - where abouts????"

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1384403.htm

I think I will trade in my new Citroen Dispatch van here and say I spent £60,000 putting in a C4 WRC engine - he may give me £20k for it!!!!

Theres hope for everyone out there now trying to sell theire cars - head to Parkway Cars!!!

Lol, that's pretty bad!

What I really don't get though, is why someone would use a limited edition WR1 as a donor car for such a project. There is nothing WR1 left about it apart from a dash of Ice Blue paint under the bonnet. If you're going to mod a car, mod a standard one, not a limited edition!

Veilside front end? Not a fan m'afraid.

If it has a saving grace, it's that it lacks a dodgy rear spoiler!

[C_WRX]

£65k, really !! Did that including insurance costs for a 17 year old in that build price.

[fai17]

where did he spent 65k

Its a standard engine LOL and a bolt on turbo!!!

Oh aye... it's Chargespeed, not Veilside.

Sorry, didn't read down that far! I reckon the 65K was what he paid on insurance!

Quite like the gills on teh front wings, but can't see anythign special about the rest of it TBH..

If you're going to mod a car, mod a standard one, not a limited edition!

100% Agreee!! Don't like it when peopel put silly mods onto special edition.. Upgrade brakes and maybe a remap if you must but it was special before hand, all your doign is destroying what was special about it in the first place! IMHo

[bobbyc]

kind of wasted a good WR1 if you ask me, a few of the standard mods on a WR1 would be sufficient... say's me,

I hope I don't get slagged off for wasting my GB270 lol anyway the final mod is on it's way Santa's got a wee K-sport upgrade to help it stop a bit quicker

LOL! actually you've doen a crackign job with yours.. Looks great and you've kept the GB### theme by adding your own GB340 branding. Looks sweet and still looks like a manufacturers Special edition! Rather than an aftermarket one off job

... Strange how sometimes you can get away with that....

[Hightower]

yea this has had a fair old slating on the wr1oc what a waste of a good car.

[notsosmall]

Not a fan of the styling mods at all

And as others said just a waste of a WR1

[p1ggm]

i like the colour

erm

thats about it, why oh why did anyone think that kit would look nice

[dannymac]

ehhh,looks good without a bootspoiler ...

[StrikE]

It's FUGLY

[the_ex_leper]

must have been £1000 an hour labour for the work lol

[x444wrx]

what a complete waste of a good wr1, if i had 65k to be throwing around like that it would have been better off going into an overfinch range rover sport or something like that no way did all that work cost 65k if it did they saw him coming and had their dick turpin masks on!!!

[thewelsho]

Hideous!

[G.Mac]

the only thing I like about it is the colour

[gordi82]

Whats even funnier is that a mint WR1 would fetch as much as he is asking for one he has spent 65k on what a waste of a great car.
