These are lovely cars, but they are not Spec C's 
These are a standard model, not lightweight, the Spec C ltd was the ltd version out, but these are rare, saw the first 2 in the country last year, stunning

The Spec C of this year has a redesigned subframe, also has a VF36 twin scroll turbo, this car runs a VF37, then there is the lack of soundproofing and lightweight glass, this car doesnt have that, also the geometry is 10mm different on the Spec C, this car is the same as the Standard STI, of course you can then look at the VIN plate, that gives it all away
(plus the lack of a 12ltr water tank in the boot)Not a Spec C, sorry.....

Just below the number plate, you see the black bit of plastic in the gap, to the left there should be something all Spec C's have, this doesnt have one
I'll let you guess what it is

Not a 'purist' RA as it is equipped with the full auto air conditioner, exclusive seats, sports pedals with alumium pads, center door lock, power windows, and electric fold-in colored door mirrors. It probably has other STI acutrements such as sound proofing etc (including style additions) that make it a STI in all but name and a few proper Spec C mods (oil filter, fuel & oil pump)
Nevertheless a Spec C.

A beautiful car but I think you will have to be a tad realistic on your price if you want to sell it.
Either that or strip it back to standard and sell the bits separately.
Good luck

but you have to be a F'ing looney if you've spent 4 Grand on a spoiler. please tell me that's a typo.....I find it strange that nobody else commented on this!!!

Good luck with the sale, might be worth taking that spolier off and dropping the price by 4K

The car is about 10 foot away from me, and it has no sound proofing, not an ounce of carpet in the boot, and it does have the bottle behind the back seats. and thin glass etcetc, anything else you want me to check??
