Are there any companies that made replica parts like the hood and front on the picture?
The most awesome Scoob yet I have seen, no doubt about it :-)

Its RHD as Prodrive have just had a right hand drive version of the WRC homologated.

Just noticed it's a 2003 spec S9.
S 300 WRT is a car used late last year, would need to look it up to be exact.
AndyC, I don't know how much it would cost.
S9 wings are aluminium, but the S10 is allowed plastic - not sure if they are though. So they shouldn't be too bad.
I do know someone who has done it to a bugeye, so will check with them.

Wider front and rear bumpers should also be used, but standard ones may also work. Not 100% sure on that yet.
The rear panels don't actually come out much further from the body, but because they are more boxed shape, they look like you do.
Only real problem is the fuel filler cap, as this isn't on the rally panels.

is that so they can drive around in reverse but still be on the same side of the road then????
Muppet!Austin McHale had his WRC Corolla converted to RHD a few years ago then tried to do the Rally GB. He didn't make it past scrutineering as the homologation papers only showed LHD. So Prodrive are having them homologated so the option is there for those who don't like LHD.
