I must admit im with you on this Bro this is mad.

I could never do this to my 1.
Each to there own though, If this makes to owner happy then so be it.
Although i would'nt do it to mine i do like the vented wings and i love that bonnet although im not into carbon myself i would of put it on in ice blue to match the car a little better.
What the hell is going on with them wheels though?

And what a car to

I must side with Bubba here, why have a Limited Edition and then replace the parts fitted that make it the model it is? I am not a purest, but I think that excessive/distasteful mods like adding decals to a WR1 is simply wrong. I think subtle mods can improve a Ltd edition, like adding STI lights toi a P1. The above car is a good example in case.

So what I think is being said here is...

If you want to use parts out of Ripspeed or your local A1 Motorstore - please buy a Nova?

Snobbery? hell yes!

Certainly not! I wouldn't waste breath on a Nova, let alone a pithy comment.

No, the "base models" I'm on about are Scoobs, for when somebody simply can't help but give in to their vandalistic urges. I'm not interested in other cars, particularly.

Anyway, I don't know why all the WR1ers are getting a sweaty betty on.

They haven't made proper scoobs since A.D. 2000.

I do not own or have not owned a Ltd edition scoob

1.rabskyline
2.Paul hargood
3.Bubba Po (top funny man)
4.COLZO
5.....

Im sure we will see a pattern immerge from those that have or do own one and those that do not or have not

I dont think it will need "spelling out"
I have owned a P1 (to the best of my knowledge this was a Limited Edition ), oh and it wasn`t 'stickered up'. It had 18" P1 alloys, Alcon brakes and the Prodrive P1 backbox upgrades!
