Question: Does anyone know how many Impreza WRX STI’s came with the Prodrive Performance Pack fitted from the factory? Either as a number or percentage of STI Type-UK sold? I’ve had a look across the net and can’t find any info on it. Just wondered if anyone knew. Don’t know if it’s 10% or 90%!
It was probably a factory option at the point of ordering the car, but the dealers fitted it on PDi, or whenever a customer requested it afterwards.
Back in the day, the dealers would've had plenty of PPP items in stock I suspect.
I reckon if PPP wasn't required at point of order, salesmen would've offered it again when they contacted the customer to say the car has arrived in the UK / at the dealer.
It was a similar set up if you ordered a Mini Cooper S and wanted the John Cooper Works. I worked for a BMW dealer back in 2004 (absolutely hated it) and they had tons of superchargers etc waiting to be fitted.
That explains why the PPP doesn’t show on the V5 and therefore there’s no way of finding out. What’s ppl’s views - do you think most would have had it fitted? It was only around £2k option as I recall so expect quite a few had it fitted but when looking at the classifieds it only appears to be the occasional one with it fitted.

PPP fitted cars received a certificate with the original registration and VIN number on it. This was usually stapled to the service book. That's the only proof I would accept. All the other kit (CAT, Backbox, fuel pump) are likely to have been replaced.

You could enquire with Subaru UK as the fitting will be on record (ECU's were originally returned to Subaru UK for map update)
Mine has that sticker with the certificate still (not on the car) - love the way it advises that you inform your insurance company 🤣
Mine has a card in it with the Subaru logo in the top left, reg number and chassis number underneath then it says performance upgrade in the top right in blue, i presume that's the certificate ?

Yes.
Although for the earlier Prodrive Performance Package it would have been
