To WRC or not to WRC, that is the question
OK guys,
I am kind of torn here. Do I keep my car looking basically like it did:
Or do i go WRC like this:
The big downside to WRC is the rear spoiler and the complete lack of rearward visibility you get when you have one on the car. Plus the front bumpers are silly money, like £650 - £750 against about £250 for a standard looking one (both prices are for very high quality Kevlar copies of the originals) and as I have an apitite for cones and stuff at track days I don't want to have to shell out megas for new front ends.
However the WRC front and rear look the absolute tits IMO.
So what do you guys think????

Looks nice the way it is... pretty 'hard', but I'm not a fan of plastic bits stuck to one's car anyway lol

The only reason I have gone for Kevlar over original is weight mate. You wanna pick up a standard bumper, they weigh a tonne.

Alright, I missed that bit... I retract my original statement in that case. Thought you meant purely cosmetic

I'd say go for the WRC kit - its different and also looks amazing!! It is very expensive tho - just dont hit any cones!

With the power that your car is going to be why do you need to see what is behind you
I would say the WRC kit but with the proper front wings, although i am a bit of a fan of the look of them.

WRC it, but i think you'd have to change the wheels as they MO's may not suit the wrc stuff?

Sean,
DON'T DO IT!
The WRC look ONLY works if the car is slammed to the ground (like the one in the photos), otherwise it makes the car look as though it is on stilts...

As much as i love the wrc, ive always prefered them looking original but with out the rear spoiler. If i ever got one it would be straight off!
