Default Rs500 rep

Not normally a fan of reps. But seen this on eBay and think it looks pretty decent. Also least it's based on a turbo and not a 1.6.

I am sure I saw a build on forum of a rs500 replica from an st but if I remember correct was built from a damaged car, not sure if this is the one, it was done very well though just if recorded would effect resale.

Looks odd to me don't know why, isn't a normal RS500 a darker colour? Like the RS500 is matte black, that looks more grey to me

It has been wrapped in super Matt black as we're the rs500 is satin black wrap. And looks darker.
