I was umming and arring about getting a WR1 3 years ago (as WR1 Bro will testify) and had a bit of a moment in early 2008 and traded my bugeye WRX for a Focus ST 2.

The Focus was fine and was quick enough for a fwd car but the paintwork was crap and looked like it had been washed with a brillo pad in places :cry:

So anyway fast forward to now and I have finally come to my senses and bought 147 :D

The car is totally standard and as it will be the every day driver I've no major plans except maybe some mud flaps and front splitter

Here's a couple of the old bug - when I first got it

and after a styling mods

I am totally made up with the WR1

The only thing that doesn't seem to work is the driving lamps which only come on with main beam - I assume they should come on with normal headlights?

Glad you saw the light, welcome :wave: I believe the lamps being driving lamps and not spot lamps only come on when on main beam..............I think? :?
