I have heard that some 55 WRX300 have the Prodrive WR spoiler on (dont say its a UK300 spoiler as this will confuse this thread completely!). I enquired about what this (as I saw it as an option) was but never got a reply, so assume it was the same as the one fitted as standard on the UK300....
.....back to the thread
Your car seems to be missing some pieces, side light graphics and interior number etc.....take it back...

This is my bonny lad, he is, guess the number.
He has ppp fitted, with the big exhaust, and is 265 bhp. UK300 is on the sides and the back, all the mats have uk300 on then, even the boot mat. His number is next to the ashtray infront of the gearstick.
Compare this to yours

I think you find its the model year of the car that determines the 245 or 265 BHP difference, not the year the PPP pack was fitted.
Therefore bugeye pre MY03 cars are 245bhp after PPP and
blobeys MY03 on are 265bhp after PPP.
I don't think there any figures out yet for MY06 PPP cars.

To be honest, it looks like its got black un-painted Morrette Front Lights.... rather than the standard UK300 front lights.
IMO, its a copy.... but it shouldnt put you off, there are better things out there than PPP.

Please WRX300 owners someone back me up! I am in Malaysia and flying back today! I will be straight to the scanner when I get home....

Download the WRX300 brochure here and TELL ME where it says optional PPP...
I see the Subaru UK page for the WRX 300 is conveniently down at the moment.....
Anyway, has the original poster found out if this car IS a UK300?
