Hi what's the best way to tell a fake sti fr a real one. I'm about to go see a v5 STI..saloon

 

Look at the vin plate. It will have an applied model code on it, this code should be -

GC8F4ED.

 

Should have a rear wiper (not RA or UK cars) electric folding mirrors, coil pack on the near side of the inlet manifold, rev counter in the middle of the clocks (7500 redline), no bright switch on the heater controls are just a few.

 

OK ended up getting it..its defo genuine v5 STI..bloody hell it pulls and handles like mad compared to newages! Only thing that's wierd is the speedo reads on kmh and miliege in KM but on the actual dial it says MPH..defo reading KM though
.don't get it??
