from what i know sti version 1's didnt all have red top engines and was introduced later on. Theres someone on here selling or was selling a very nice example of a non red top sti in metallic black.

Regarding the roof vent, U can always get one put on. Ive seen one on a Green UK wagon lol n im on about a vent not a scoop
