The original RS500 side skirts and wheel arch flips were then moulded back on over the Gartrack arches. The front and rear air dams were then stretched wider to fit the wings. The car is now approximately 10" wider. A 4-lamp rally spec lighting pod was then mounted on a quick release set-up on the bonnet. A full roll cage was fitted with diagonal and removable door bars.
