05 blob and hawk sti had a cherry red badge as subaru would call it. https://i.imgur.com/fYin6Qy.jpg its interesting that your 05 sti is in fact a non widetrack car hence why you have pink badges. siv |

https://i.imgur.com/7WmU0FR.jpg You have a MY03-04 non widetrack car registered in 2005. Siv :thumb: |
No mate your wrong. I have a MY05 non widetrack blobeye. Subaru didn't introduce the 2nd facelift until June 2005

First facelift: 2002–2005EditAfter mixed reaction to the round headlight design, in 2001 Subaru enlisted the help of Peter Stevens of Prodrive, who updated the car's fascia in 2002 (2003 in the US for the 2004 model year), with more rectangular headlamps. For the US market, the facelifted Impreza was offered as 2.5 RS Sedan and TS Wagon, 2.5 Outback Sport Wagon, WRX Sedan and Wagon, and the new WRX STI Sedan. Sport Package was optional for the RS, and the WRX could be ordered with Premium Package. The RS, TS, Outback Sport, and WRX are available with manual or automatic transmission, while the sole transmission for the STI is 6-speed manual. This version of the Impreza has gained the nickname 'Blob Eye' among Subaru enthusiasts. |

Well sivo has asked me to clarify a few things. ;)
Firstly #Bryan Gallacher what is the 10th character of your VIN ? as Model Year (MY) has nothing to do with when it was first registered in the UK. Newage Impreza STI boot badges as follows MY02 - 93073FE450 https://www.4turbo.pl/Img.ashx?Id=5043 MY03-04 - 93073FE580 https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon....uL._SX355_.jpg MY05 - 93073FE710 https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon....L._SL1500_.jpg MY06-07 - 93073FE810 or 93073FE930 (no image) similar setup to below but with guide for fitting to LHS rather than RHS https://d354nuoz4t18d4.cloudfront.ne...93073fe800.png |
Yeah firstly mate I won't be posting any letter of my vin, not sure who the **** you think you are to ask that kind of **** but Chase yourself lol. ffs this is like something outta Scarface, tell your mate to calm down thos isn't mehico

The 10th character of your VIN is the way to identify its Model Year. https://ministrant-sponge.000webhost...L/VIN%20id.JPG |

That's because within 05 the change was made from non to widetrack ffs. doesn't take the brains of a rocket scientist. mine is the last of the non widetrack ie 1st generation. widetrack models were introduced in June 05.
MY05 and hence Widetrack were built between 04/2004 and 07/2005 with the first cars gettinng to the UK about 07/2004 https://ministrant-sponge.000webhost...ld%20dates.JPG MY06 (Hawkeyes) started arriving in the UK late 2005 |

mine is an 05 non widetrack lol. I didn't decide that so I'm no sure what you want me to say. subaru produced blobeye non and widetrack models from 2003 to 2005 for both the UKdm and jdm market. mine is an 05 FACT. ask DVLA lol It may have been REGISTERED in the UK in 05 but that (as said before) doesn't make it a MY05. Firstly #Bryan Gallacher what is the 10th character of your VIN ? as Model Year (MY) has nothing to do with when it was first registered in the UK. If it's JDM it will have a 9 character VIN and would have been given a UK registration suitably based on it's actual build month/year/registration in Japan. ( The specC's previously mentioned on 11 plates were unregistered in Japan, directly imported into the UK and held in storage.) The general give away for a Widetrack car is the rear wheel arch protectors and matching bumper plus 114.3 pcd hubs/wheels. In the UK/Europe/Australia they arrived with MY05 In Japan they first appearedd on the Revision E (MY05 equivalent) |

Yes, non wide track MY03/MY04 and widetrack MY05 It may have been REGISTERED in the UK in 05 but that (as said before) doesn't make it a MY05. So what is the 10th character of your VIN ?? or is it a JDM ? as your posts are getting more and more confusing. If it's JDM it will have a 9 character VIN and would have been given a UK registration suitably based on it's actual build month/year/registration in Japan.

It's time you grasped the difference between first registered in the UK and Subaru's Model Year (MY) designation which defines the model for spare parts and a lot of other things. 10th character of the VIN is a simple question to answer - for starters it's a number for Newage Imprezas. Trouble is it would probably prove me and others correct. Looking at your "for sale" thread the Model Year has also been questioned a number of times. Trying to sell it as a MY05 rather than a "MY04 registered in 2005", whatever the upgrades, ain't gonna wash with anyone who knows their Subarus, which is probably why it hasn't sold. I posted on this thread to clarify the different Model Year STI boot lid badges for Sivo, following your original questioning of his item for sale. However it seems to have become somewhat more :( You posted earlier in this thread Yeah firstly mate I won't be posting any letter of my vin, not sure who the **** you think you are to ask that kind of **** but Chase yourself lol. ffs this is like something outta Scarface, tell your mate to calm down thos isn't mehico This is my current ride a MY11 WRX STI saloon first registered in the UK November 2010. https://ministrant-sponge.000webhost...ON_11_2018.jpg |
Was it just the widetracks that had the cherry red rear badges?
