Silver one..........mapped by Bob Rawle which is always a bonus as you know it's been done properly, tasteful mods and it's got what look like Rotra GRA's

The second one has brembo's but with good pads and disks the subaru 4 pots are pretty good.

The more difficult question is do I think the price is OK ? It depends on what you want to pay. There's a DBM Bug for sale on here at the moment....

What's your budget as the price does jump for the STi / Prodrive style

Buying bug WRX is easy.......you have a choice of JDM or Uk. The Classic is different as there never was a UK WRX (it was a Turbo 2000 AWD) and wading through the list of available import models is a bit tricky at times LOL
