Default Difference between Euro and UK Blobeye STi's?

Well, after a few weird things I couldn't explain, I've worked out that my car is a Euro import from Malta or Cyprus. It's a 2003 Blobeye STi.

Does anyone know the differences between the EU cars and Type UK?

My V5 says WRX, not WRX STi and my alarm keypad is on the upper right windscreen, and I don't have Type UK badge. Apart from that, any major differences?

Alarm, badges, locking wheel nuts and possibly tracker

A 'UK' car is actually a Euro import, its just that Subaru UK have a couple of bits fitted to it and provide a warranty.

Also in some casses euro cars are better spec'd, heated seats etc as Subaru UK (International motors) bring thme in very absic to keep costs down, not that you'd believe that!

Cheers guys, mine has a Sigma Thatcham alarm fitted and I added a tracker and good wheel nuts, so seems I'm not missing much. Oh how I wish the Maltese had rear wipers and twin scroll turbos added...

Mines from Malta originally. No difference apart from underseal looks very thin.

My 2005 blob Wrx is from Cyprus. The only things missing were locking wheel nuts and alarm. Other than that same spec as UK as its still a euro car as mentioned above.
