When I read the topic title, I thought someone had come across a mint GLF-5... :P

Keen to see the photos. Is it just a show-pony type dress-up or is it a fully prepared WRC car that gets "light duties"?

its a full replica..... carbon fibre panels, motor (don,t know how worked and it had no keys

), the only thing that looked off was the exhuast..
it even had the roof camera

the car was at subaru headquaters out at western sydney and is now on its way to japan..
i dont know where it was built because it is left hand drive??? eurospec??

Most if not all Subaru WRC cars are LHD.

Hey Simmo,

Where are your pics???

Did it look anything like this?

or this?

It sure did have all the nice bits inside and had the intercooler etc. Not sure if the engine was there though.

havin trouble getting pics from work.... i got some on my phone but they are fair crap..
not the exact same car but similar... i think the spoilers are a little different and the chrome aroun the exhaust was not there... the one we imported had solberg stickers on it too...
and it was a running replica

all i needed was the keys
