You have bought the best bang per book scooby.......I salute you sir

If it has the PPP then you will have a genuine PPP certificate saying so, otherwise it will have the lights, grille, spoiler of a "classic car"

I guess it's in blue as the black version is even more special LOL

Pics always welcome

Body has different sills, big rear spoiler, different front bumper and fog light covers, blue dials inside, and is easy capable of 330 bhp with a re-map.

Welcome to a small but select bunch, ignore the "face-lift" masses they are just jealous !

LOL

DunxC

P.S. Engine can cope with around 400 bhp, but maybe not the clutch !

P.P.S. Shame they weren't numbered as a limited edition really !

If it says Prodrive in the logbook then it has the Prodrive Style Pack. Of course it's possible it has the Prodrive Performance Pack (PPP) as well, as a few cars do. The Style pack is easiest to recognise from the front:





That was mine as standard: note the "wrap-around" foglight covers: the usual STI has insert ones. The radiator grille is different, and the Prodrive version has those side skirts, which the normal STI is missing (it has a plainer version).


Identifying whether it really has a PP without a cert is a lot harder though.

Just bought one last week they are called a wrx sti prodrive style and the PPP was a £2000 optional extra call subaru and ask for the prodrive number to see if the car has ever had the ppp fitted the one i was looking at said it had it but had my suspisions as the back box will have a prodrive stamp not an sti one . Spoke to a very heloful guy at prodrive gave him the chassis number as they have a record of all PPP fitted no record found ,spoke to the previous owner of the guy who i was buying it off as found a receipt with his number on he told me more history about the car it has had the scoobyclinic 320bhp pack fitted and he had all the receipts for it which i now have cracking car hope you enjoy it . I am !!!!

Be very careful with your grill, bumper and foglight covers chap.

Theyre majoryly expensive and rare as rocking horse poo.

One of the best scoobs out there IMO.
