For a reason! Detracts from the value (and looks shite as I prefer the snoop nose personally) which is why he's crazy thinking it's worth that money IMO.

Can buy a 'proper' RS2000 for that money - this is on eBay:

Plain and simple greed a lot of the time!

Though a genuinely good example with the original parts and trim will always be worth strong money.

Never liked the snoop front, unless, as said above, it's in X-pack guise. Flat front box arched for me

Its ok, seen plenty of rs2000 rally cars converted to flat fronts (easier to repair once you've had a shunt of 2) Do prefer the droop snoop mind.

The seats look terrible in it. It needs the fishnet recaro's fitted to it .
