Hi my husband has just bought a 05 subaru. It has wrx 300 badges on it and most of the stuff listed as being on this model, but how can we be definitely sure it really is a wrx 300 as we do not have a limited edition certificate??

As you can probably tell i know NOTHING!! Please help me!!!

 

post a pic up and Im sure people will know.

 

open the bonnet and look for a long number on the top of the strutt (drivers side) (top of the wheel) and please post that on here, we can tell what car it is from this.

James

 

applied model number will show for definate, but I think uk 300 was a bugeye.

 

ok i've had a look and this is what it says

APPLIED MODEL : GDAEK8D


Is this the right number?

 

It is, but the WRX300 is a blobeye...

 

Show us a pic...........there was a Bug UK 300 and also a WRX 300 Blob......two different models

Shaun

 

Stacey, edit your post and just leave this part... APPLIED MODEL : GDAEK8D

Is it this one? I don't think it had it's own applied model number ....

Shaun

 

its a blobeye
thanks all for taking the time to help. I'm really clueless.

 

yes it looks like this and its got the 300 badges and mats, but i just wondered how we'd know if it was a genuine limited edition one or if someone had bought the badges and mats off ebay or whatever?

 

The applied model code will be the same as they were standard wrx's which had a make over in the UK, but if its a MY05 WRX300 it should also have the PPP as standard

Tony

 

whats ppp?

 

the uk 300 should have a blue interior like an sti just without the sti logo

 

Prodrive Performance Pack

 

 

ours has subaru rally stitched on to the seats?

 

yeah that should be there. The photo is from the bug if yours is a blob then it should have subaru rally on the seats

 

it has prodrive written on a blue pipe in the engine?

 

also should have this spoiler on it

 

yeah the blue silicone hose is an upgrade part of the prodrive performance pack

Hoping to buy one of these in the next month or so. Too many people above getting confused with the UK300.

 

I've got a booklet like the one in the link above but again i've seen them for sale on ebay. I just don't seem to be able to find anywhere that can tell me for definate if our car is one of the 300 limited edition cars?

 

whats the reg number?

 

yf05 ahe

dvla have got it as 220bhp when if its a wrx300 shouldn't it be a 265??

 

The PPP was offered as a free install after 1000 miles, so when it was first registered it is just a normal WRX. Thats why you would have to let your insurance company aware that it has the PPP pack, it is recognised by most insurers.

 

YF05AHE, a Subaru Impreza Wrx Turbo (4 Door Saloon)

that's not much help is it

 

Reckon it is highly unlikely someone would modify a WRX into a WRX300, would be more likely to put STi parts on.

 

Have told the insurance that its a limited edition. Do you think i need to be more specific with them.
I'm going to assume then that it is a genuine wrx300.
Does anyone know if i can get hold of another certificate for it?? i know its a long shot.

 

Shaun as it was limited to just 300 will there have been a limited plaque somewhere on the car like the classic sti's used to come with?
