2001 FORD FOCUS RS IS ACTUALLY THE 2002 FOCUS RS

Product: EA SPORTS™ WRC
Platform:Steam-PC
Summarize your bug A small wee typo with a car in the game is with the Ford Focus RS Rally from 2001, the model used in the game is of the 2002 as it has a central hood vent unlike the 2001 and also the wider roof scoop of the 2002. year of the car just needs to be updated.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Title of car is found in a few parts of the game.
What happens when the bug occurs? I cringe
What do you expect to see? updated to 2002 rather than 2001.

    I noticed this too! Given Codies made CMR 3 with the 2002 and it's distinctive bonnet vents, it's a surprise and a shame. 

    Please fix, given it's surely a small task. 

    The headlights are also the wrong colour given they are supposed to be the darkened, ST170 halogen style lamps, which were not chromed all over as per the RS road car.

    Livery wise, it would be nice to have the main martini-based livery shown by the OP, especially given the callback to CMR 3, plus the inverted 'Blue RS on a white car'.

    And, as a small detail, in the Blue Markko Martin livery, if the front number plate could be changed to a smaller non-rally-GB version, where it is small and below the bumper grille, it would look 100x better.
