We get quite a few problems with irate customers ringing us asking about cars which have been sold as 'Prodrive' as they have stickers on them and it transpires that we have never seen the cars. I even saw a well spec'd yellow Impreza Sport Special with very large 'Prepared by Prodrive' stickers on it local to where I live, although they disappeared pretty quickly after I pointed out to him that I see his car almost every day!!!

The only times when we ever brand a car using a Prodrive badge or sticker is when we have fitted it ourselves either at Banbury/Warwick or Subaru's Distribution centre with a varied package of kit such as wheels & tyres, suspension and body parts, normally in conjunction with a Performance Package.

To sell a sticker on it's own opens up a whole new ball game. Do we really want to get to the situation like BMW have where people think it's clever to debadge their 316 and put an M badge on the boot in the expectation that they can (supeficially) fool others into thinking it's an M3? If anybody is in doubt, the answer to this question is NO....
