I'm no STi expert, but the huge WRX sign on the tailgate doesn't mention being an STi.
And the clocks, although the STi sign is on the rev counter, I always though the rev counter is the bigger clock in the middle on STi's.

No waterspray and looks like ABS fitted.

Could be a WRX Type R and not STI.

No, it was a UK feature only. Although it appears to have the bigger washer reservoir. So possible bumper change.

I Think most of you saw what i thought was wrong, uk spec dash, uk spec front bumper, looks like the engine out of a version 5/6 wrx with the coil pack to one side and the rear diff looks like the smaller r160 not the r180 that should be fitted to the sti type r v-limited, Think the car could tell a story or two. Apart from the above it dont look to bad........

A v limited TypeR is basically a wrx 2door which runs all the above except the headlamp washers. They didnt even have 4 pots on the front. They did have a roof vent though.
