I was lucky to be browsing around as usual searching 'till the last drop. Found some high resolution pics of the official Hyundai F2 Kit Car in WRC GB. There you can see Kenneth Eriksson happy as usual, and Alister McRae with David Senior depressed having to walk the stage knowing their battle for manufacturer first vs. renault has just been lost... pics range from 1200pixels, 56k users be warned!
Here are the big ones you can click on:

The Hyundai Formula 2 EVO Kit Car was Hyundais official rally programme held in 1999. Hyundai made many mistakes including not competing in difficult costly rallies such as Monte Carlo or Safari. The pressure was on the drivers and they gave it their best shot but in the last few minutes of the final rally, it wasn't enough to beat Renault. This car was very sweet indeed.

They call it a kit car because the frame, internal body, lights, interior is all stock and the rest of the car is gutted out and rebuilt with a works rally kit that a company builds and produces (in this case MSD). the engine is rebuilt with the kit (i this case Roush) and transmission and axles are redesigned for rally purpose. they have body moldings of the kits in england however you have to know somebody who works there to actually get them... or be prepared to pay a hefty price.
that hood scoop is also part of the rally car.

Notice in this pic, the hatch is fiberglass. It's bending with the support.

I know of only one photo of the engine to exist and it doesn't show a lot. i'll try to find it but i doubt i can. yeah the hatch, the hood, the bumper F+R are all fiberglass. to my knowlege the fenders are too because i have seen pictures of the body panels.
there is a guy with that wing somewhere in south america. i'm wondering how on earth he got that. maybe a mold of the wing when the ex-eriksson car rallied in argentina. i think veenhuizen rallying bought the car and is rallying it currently. their website is www.veenhuizenrallying.nl also have some really amazing photos.
guys, notice the Iceman carbon fiber mirrors, sweet ey? they don't make that shiz anymore...
