After the thread 'Dream job for a VASKer' I have been waiting weeks to get you some pics, well finally it was parked outside work today so here they are.
It looks awesome in the WRC Skoda/Redbull livery and body kit, apart from the front gaurd fit to the front doors.
I found out that this was a joint 6 month project between Redbull and the Dealer (CCS???)
and at the end of 6 months the sticker will be removed and thwe car's for sale.
What a starting point for a very unique road/track car.
It's been worked hard by Redbull but that's good for a deisel as they get quicker as they loosen up after a few km's.
It's standard apart from the body kit.

about the 10th attempt to load the rest of the pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice, would look better lowered.

Last pic with the guard fit

The Auckland City Council must love that car. Every time I've seen it parked on Hargreaves St outside RedBull it has had a parking ticket under the wiper.

Saw it at the A1GP, agree the panel fit in some places is a bit slack, but does tart up the fabia nicely. The promo girls driving it  looked like they had matching body kits also....

Not sure about that rear wing though...

Just found this article on this car - under all the vinyl it is actually silver!

Hi everyone, I currently own this car.

It's still sporting the entire kit (minus the rear bumper). Keen to hear the process that was undertaken to make it!

It is indeed silver.

Not sure what I will do with it yet. Was going to just grab it's leather interior to put in my other VRS and then sell it on however I think it would be cool to give it some real "sporting credentials". Either a hybrid turbo 1.9tdi, BAM 1.8T or a turbo V5.

Keen to hear everyone's thoughts.

My brother owned a black Fabia vRS with the same bodykit on it. I think there was only the 2 cars with the WRC kit in NZ.

You wouldn't happen to know the rego plate by any chance of the black car? Unfortunately my one is missing the widebody rear bumper. The previous owner said he was driving in the rain, got home and the bumper just was no longer there... never to be seen again!

I'm hoping the black one is still around to model a replacement bumper off of.

My brother took the plate with him that was on the car. I don't recall what it was replaced with.

Hold the phone. Here we go:

Wow thanks for finding that! It would be amazing if the car is still around in some paddock or whatever as that rear bumper would be almost priceless for me haha!

I suppose the internet sleuthing now begins to see if I can track down the elusive "Kcbnz" to see if they still have the car. I don't hold high hopes as 8 years is a long time but you never know.

It's a shame as it seems like they got it re-registered and then for whatever reason it has become de-registered again.

Have you sent Kcbnz a PM?

Glad to see Stimpy has gone to a good home.

As for the bumper, if you can find 2x stock rear bumpers and a competent plastic welder you should be able to make a new one up as the overall shape is the same, just that bit wider.

Great idea with the bumpers. Don't suppose you have some photos showing the rear bumper design? I'd be keen to try get it as close to how it was.

Have just sent them a message, fingers crossed they reply.

Also, is there any way I can easily upload pictures into this thread? If so, I will upload some of how the car sits presently.
