Default WRX SWRT Special Edition

Does anybody out there have any pictures of this car, there seems to be several members interested. I know Litchfield imports have sold a couple would be very appreciative of a couple of pictures and perhaps a chat.

Thanks in advance

I think people are getting a bit confused here..

The WR1 is based on the Sti..

Spec-cie's car is suprisingly enough a Spec C - but is a SWRT special edition but also based essentially on the Sti.

The WRX SWRT Special Edition edition this guy is on about is based on the WRX with a few cosmetic goodies as far as I'm aware - supposedly including an Sti interior.
Someone on here has one on order I think but not arrived..

<edit>Patkin - I just realised it is you that is getting one from Litchfields - When is it due to arrive ? </edit>

I bought a Spec C WR RA Ltd with the Type 25 conversion from Iain Litchfield in December a couple of weeks after Paul got his.

So did you buy the WR Limited WRX? Subaru did WR LTD versions of both the Spec C and the WRX (see http://www.subaru.co.jp/impreza/wrlimited/) ... or is this something else again?

Not a 100% keen on the wheels but looks v.cool - a real bargain at 18k with the Sat nav as well - nice one mate


Oohh - I wonder if you'll get the HID lights

Litchfields can do em but currently advertised at allbrandsnew.co.uk

Oh this is not a WR or a Spec C it is the MY05 WRX with tasty cosmetics no power or chassis mods.

Hi Mog, calm down your getting more excited than me.
The car is being imported from Malta for me by Lichfield imports, it's as in the photos posted by Bartop.
It's basicaly a WRX with limited edition stickers, seats the same as a c spec, metal gearknob, STI wheels and rear spoiler and cd player ( cd & spoiler extra £500 ), sat. nav. and STI foglight covers with SWRT on them.
Was told only 15 about but not sure if thats in Malta or all of europe, it's a euro spec car not a JDM so only 225 BHP so bring on PPP.
Cost on the road with a tracker fitted £19,194

It is a normal WRX with the kit on it and is very likely unique to Malta, apart from the confusion with the WR nobody has implied differently. Remember the Maltese importers are no different to the UK importers who add alarms and wheelnuts, Malta I think have done this off there own bat.

That is alot of extras on a car that is still more than 2k less than the UK WRX. With the savings you can stick on PPP and suspension mods and still come out less than the UK model.

Not bad in my humble opinion
