What are the differences between the Peter Solberg edition and our WR1?
Is it that prodrive never got their hands on it?
Only thing my uneducated eye can see is the alloys and spot lamps?

Posted: **Mon Mar 09, 2009 4:45 pm**

Awesome pics. I hope you have hi-res versions to email me for the 2010 calendar? :wink:

In general (although 1mposter will be able to give you a correct list as he transformed a 'Petter Solberg' into his WR 1(mposter) ):

1. no 18" PFf alloys. The Solberg came with standard 17" alloys in grey
2. no Prodrive spring kit
3. no driving lights (and if they had 'lights', then they were front foglights)
4. no Prodrive Performance Pack (+10bhp for a healthy 1)
5. no 'marketing material' such as the keyring and the rest. You did get a Petter Solberg plaque though, I think.

the difference is

no 18" PFf alloys. The Solberg came with standard 17" alloys in grey ---> yes :wink:

no Prodrive spring kit yes :wink:

it's a france... :evil:

no driving lights (and if they had 'lights', then they were front foglights) too yes.. in france, they remove elements cause a drop in the selling price :roll:

no Prodrive Performance Pack (+10bhp for a healthy 1 no.. it's a sti 265ch
and the plaque yes but not numero

the wheel 17 is really ugly :roll:

Basically WR1's were originally Petter Solberg edtions, Prodrive got 500 of them. Charged you Â£9k for the privilage of upgrading to 316bhp, changing the wheels,locking wheel nut, driving lights, mesh grills, tracker alarm, floormats, all of which can be brought forless than Â£5k... plus the keyring, plaque tax disc........ lets not forget the Lidl cornflake wr1 stickers :lol:

All of which I have :lol:

Ah! International Motors, brings back memories from my days when I worked in a Subaru parts dept. Think in my day they imported Izuzu and Maserati as well?
