Yes, get in touch with IM and give them the car's details they can tel you whether its had the PPP pack added or not.
IIRC the UK300 had 240ish bhp, not 260, that was the figure for the torque. HOWEVER, it only provides those gains if run on SUL, are you running it on SUL?

I don't have the contact details mate, I'm sure someone on here will; many have gone down the same route. If not, do a google search for them.
Do take on board the comments about the fuel though.
Good luck.

The UK300 DOES have 261 BHP (265ps) and 348 Nm of torque
. Check out the Subaru official website as it is still on there.
It should have single pipe prodrive exhaust/de cat, a blue intercooler pipe, revised ECU and a certificate of installation from Prodrive! Just ring Subaru UK and they should be able to tell you straight away. If they say no then I would say it's very doubtful.

Also, the latter comes with PPP as standard, it was an option on the former (you could just have the body mods)
Isn't this car a bugeye?

The limited edition number on a uk300 is on the little flap above the rear view mirror..
It also says "impreza wrx uk300" on the log book..
Non ppp uk300 = 215bhp
ppp uk300= 245bhp
the easiest way to tell if it has ppp is to lift the bonnet and look at the hose on the left hand side (as you look from the front of the car) of the intercooler, if it is blue with prodrive on it then the chances are that it has ppp, if it is black, then it probably hasnt.
hope this helps

It has the correct spoiler for a UK300 (the older WRX300 still had the ironing board) and the correct headlights.
However it should definately have a x/300 number inside the cabin and it should have the UK300 sticker under the WRX badge on the boot AND under the side repeaters.
It doesn't necessarily have the single Prodrive exhaust either, depends if it has PPP.
See the pic below, you can make out the UK300 stickers on the car....
edit: sorry about the multiple pics - dodgy "V" key (paste)

Barretts made one 'one off' car which was heavily overpriced (hence why noone bought it) that was essentially all the bits of the Prodrive bin added on to a WRX...
This come out a few months before the official UK300 come out on the bug eye.....
You havent ended up with this one have you?
....and people stop confusing the UK300 with the WRX300

Not sure if anyone has noticed this but....
There are no UK300 stickers under the side indicators.....
......where exactly do you have stickers saying UK300??
As for the log book, do not agree with above as my log book says WRX, and mine defo is a WRX300 do a search and there are lots of threads with people saying that their log book does not tie up. For example WR1 saying STI (though some do say STI WR1) and so on....

It should have the UK300 stickers under the WRX badge on the boot and under both side repeaters on the front wings, (unless they made yours at a time when they didn't have any UK300 stickers in stock?!?!).
