Try looking at Mudah.my and type in Wira 1.8, and you could probably see some examples.

As it is, the Focus RS comes with big performance and rally-inspired design. Truly a delight that it matches up to the older Focus RS in spirit. Try catching WRC from this year on! Its gonna be a really good season with Ford really in place to grab both titles from Citroen! Hopefully, FIA addresses the appeal of rallying better too. Coz thats where the roadcars (with this RS badge) come from. RS = Rally Sport

This limited edition looks desirable. What's with the RS? Alot of cars on the road stick RS stickers on their cars. Always wonder what RS stands for. Perhaps Proton can make some limited edition for their neo s2000 too. I don't think there'll be problem finding customers to buy them. The neo looks quite nice too especially neo s2000. If Proton took too long the Neo will be too outdated already. Focus seems a good alternative from the japan makes. This limited edition looks desirable. What's with the RS?

Simply slap some stickers, put some wheel caps, some paint job, put exhaust tips, or smoked lamps, or install awkward dashmeter lights.....IS NOT limited edition.
