I have an 02 STi, which I think is non prodrive. But I have just received my insurance renewal and it states clearly WRX STi Prodrive bla bla. I am confused as it hasn`t got blue dials etc. Can anybody enlighten me?
Apparently the vehicle was registered as above with the DVLA.
Model Code is GDBBKEH.
Sorry For Being A Pain, I just need some help!

this may be a daft reply but are you mistaking ppp and prodrive.
you may have the prodrive style model. has it got large rear fin, different front bumper etc... just a thought.

The PPP is a performance upgrade not a styling set like the prodrive kit. As is stated the car does not have the blue dials associated with the Prodrive kit.
Does the car have a blue hose going from the turbo then under the intercooler? If so it may be that you have the PPP kit fitted and there is a clerical error in that they say prodrive and not PPP. Juyst a thought.

if you haven't got blue dials as you have stated then i doubt its an sti prodrive style. if you have declared ppp on the car to the insurers it might be just a clerical error by someone who dosen't know the differance. just the sort of error that could cause you problems if you have a prang..

Well just looked, no blue hose. The exhaust is the STi branded one. Bigger rear wing, oh yes. I thought that the vehicle had to be registered properly through the DVLA, erm? Should I query this with my insurers? Cos I don`t want to be paying more than I have been as we all know insurance on Scoobys isn`t that cheap. And also if some numpty backends me or sommat like, I don`t want my policy void

I eagerly await your response Ladies and Gentlemen.

You don't know whether its an sti?
If you havn't got a red inlet manifold, sti central rev counter, sti seats etc etc.........Its not an sti!
Pics will help us confirm this.

Yup I know its an STi, red manifold etc, branded seats etc. All I was asking was there is no evidence that the car is PPP`d or Prodrive style. But my insurance renewal clearly states WRX P/Drive STi UK. I know I`m a pain, but just need this clearing up.

Mine is a Prodrive style which according to Directline was £80 cheaper to insure than a standard STI. If you have the curved smooth fog lamp covers then thats another clue to the prodrive. If you post a pic up we can all answer it instantly.

Ok I found this in another post which helped sort out which model I had - http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ivepics018.jpg Dont know how to make it clicky but this was posted by Turbotits and is a Prodrive style. On mine it's stated on the V5 and qualified me for insurance reduction over the standard STI.

Hope this helps - thanks to Turbotits for the use of the pic (nice shine by the way)

Thanks for your replies. I`ll have to learn quickly how to post pics up, !!

As Sewer Rat said, I think its a clerical error by the insurers as I have dug out my V5 and it doesn`t state Prodrive on the model type. So thats that solved.
Also when I bought the car I asked wether it had PPP and they said NO.
So basically its a clerical error. I did declare the mods tho, larger rear spoiler, splashguards and limited edition wheels.
Do I have a case for a refund on the excess that I may have paid?

Really sorry for being a pain

My V5 stated Prodrive - meaning style not having the PPP fitted. In my case the Pro-drive style was cheaper to insure than a normal STI but when I spoke to the nice lady there she said you should insure it as it states on the V5. Did you look at the pic i linked to? Does yours have the same front bumper? If yes then I suspect its a Pro-drive style, if not then I guess its a normal STI.

P.S I dont see your grounding for a refund - doesnt appear as though you have paid more than you should??

Bug Eyed Peas

Thanks Andy for clearing that up for me.

Will post pics up soon. Got Photobucket but having a bit of trouble transferring them at the moment. I`m not even going to start another thread about this one.

I`ll keep on trying though!!!!
