Quick look on google images at a couple of white Type-R's and it seems they're a green colour with cerise trim...

...then a quick look on eBay and guess what? I found what I was looking for. Internets great

If you read my edit mate you would see I acknowledged this.

But no, don't thank me for actually using my head and finding out what colour they were in the first place for you. God forbid

You now know you need the one with a slightly darker blend on the upper and lower edges of the 'WRX' text. You didn't know this 10 minutes ago. No need to thank me you ungrateful ****

2004 i bought my98 sti type r in 406 silver and i wouldn't have bought it if it had the WRX sticker on the boot ! lol

Joking apart each to there own and the like, but dont think its a standered item as my old car never came with one on and that was imported from NZ.

Rcm sell them mate but they are not cheap. As said look on google, pistonheads for a white type r then buy the correct one from them.'personally would not buy one off eBay as they will be cheap copies or guessed sizes etc atleast from RCM it might be slim but a chance of an orginal or if not knowing the quality of thier craftsmanship it would be top copy

You can import them from Japan here:-

http://www.japanparts.com/db/partsli...maker=&VOLKEY=

I'm fairly sure these are the original parts as well
