I don't think that's a spec c. As Gambit says, there's no rear arch trims and a spec c wouldn't have side skirts (unless retrofitted).
I hate it when they don't put a price in the add!

I thought same thing. Also dubious how the cover is draped over the roof so you can’t see the roof scoop.

I’ll be in Newport in a few weeks funnily enough.

I’ve just found the ad on arsebook
It does actually have a wide track rear bumper on it.

Yeh it’s a funny one. It’s got the wide track bumper that has different profile to match where the arch trims meet it, but as been said spec C doesn’t have side skirts, although these can be retro fitted. Wide track will have holes drilled around the wheel arch skin for the trims to clip on, but this doesn’t appear to have them.
also the rcm go faster stripes are in place where the wheel arch trims would be so something doesn’t quite add up

Also has spots in front bumper. Don’t think spec C has them, just blank panels.

It's just someone trying to make a wide track sti look until they got to the arch trims then it became a bit more difficult to sort

Not difficult, ht autos do wide track arch trims that can be stuck on.

There is one in Wales.
reminds me of the time I was behind someone in the petrol station looking for directions in the village I grew up in, Ashington West Sussex. They were 350 miles out though as they were meant to be in Ashington Northumberland 😆

Although both Ashingtons also have a neighbouring Washington to add to their confusion.
