I'm still tempted to PPP the car although it's slightly over my budget. But damn, here it is too expensive for what it is.

Perhaps that guy from prodrive would like to answer that one for us?

I have a piece of paper that has the noise limit of my car recorded in it stationary at x rpm and moving at x rpm and these numbers are set in stone and can not be changed. I also have the PS and top speed of my car in there aswell.
The PPP alters the noise and power of the car so is not legal here.
We do have 2 cars here with PPP but both are Brit RHD cars.
The PPP is also not TÜV approved in Germany so is illegal to fit to a German registered car.

And you were right about the Fahrzeugbrief, this is the V5 the Fahrzeugschein is the smaller one you need to carry with you.
But unlike the V5 if someone gets hold of your Fahrzeugbrief they technically own your car and can go and get it reregistered in their name without you even knowing about it. then they report the car stolen and you get nicked in your own car and with now Fahrzeugbrief to prove it is yours you are in the brown stuff, you may have the Fahrzeugschein but that doesn't matter it could be an old one.

To continue the subject:
Is there any way we can find out if this PPP offer could still work then?
Who knows the differences between a 2001<2005 UK WRX and a US one, except from the obvious LHD/RHD???
Are the back box and middle section compatible?
Are the ECU compatible?

I dont beleive the ecu would be compatible -
rallysportdirect@hotmail.com says:
they are for only usdm cars
rallysportdirect@hotmail.com says:
there is quite a few differences in the ECU programming between the two motors
Dont see why exhausts would be different. But then as somebody said, by the time you added shipping, paid import taxes and waited 3 months for surface delivery then pay someone to fit it.. and after all that the dealers still wont regonise it as a genuine certificated PPP.
we may just have to put up for a uk dealer ppp or shut up
or say bugger the warranty and get a TSL bag of goodies under the bonnet
