It is from Sweden and it has lots of fibre glass bodyparts.. :P That's all I know.

You can buy those fibre glass body parts from here: http://home.swipnet.se/rpglasfiber/ There used to be pics in that page of that same car in the vid but not anymore for some reason.

Translation for those parts listed for sale

Motorhuv = hood
Bakskärmar med breddare = rear fenders with widened arches
Höger dörr = right side door
Dörrskin H+V = door's outer plate (left and right)
Stötfångare bak = bumper rear
Stötfångare fram med spoiler = bumber front, with spoiler
Framskärmar breddade = front fenders with widened arches
Övre frontplåt = about this I'm not sure, direct translation would be "higher front plate" but then again what is that I can't say for sure... :lol:

Prices are in SEK (Swedish Crown) in that page so not too expensive.. :P For example fibre glass hood would be about ~140 euros (1 euro is something 9.xxx SEK)

There's a one pic of that same rally cross car with those parts listed

Yeah, I'd seen pics of it before - but never a video, wondered what engine spec/running gear it has

may be a bit of a silly question but wouldnt the engine get a bit toasty since the grill and bumper vent holes being all blocked off with the fibre glass panels blocking them off?, looks really good i must say and i bet it performs extremely well but i thought it would make more sense making more venting like holes in bumper etc since participating in rally would be making engine work hard and would get fairly hot.

cheers

Those rally cross cars usually have the radiator at the back/trunk so it is not so essential to get airflow in to the engine bay. :P
