Special graphite trim for the centre console
Air con
Special 'Speedline' 17in, 6 spoke, alloy wheels in 'pewter' colour with Pirelli 'P Zero' 205/45 ZR17 tyres

thanks myblack wrx, why have my insurance docs got rb5 on them cause it certainly isnt the spec you have found?, so although my scooby is a uk car from what i gather, as i have mph instead of kph on the clock, is she just a classic, just be nice to know, thanks

It may 'only' be a UK classic but it's still an impreza enjoy itMay be worth checking the reg as your insurance company may charge you more as they think it's a limited edition

cheers for now, Andy, p.s where and how do i check the reg

Phone the dvla, their online reg check doesn't seem to give up much info (all i found out it's green and an impreza which i already knew )

my mate from work has a my99 uk classic in blue and his comes up as an rb5 aswell
dunno why this is

riggy10

Very strange, will call dvla and see what they come up with and let you guys know

Yip it's defo not a RB5. Almost certainly a UK classic, but it should state the exact model on your V5 document.

I'll ask my mate tomorrow if he ever found out the reason for this,it seems strange tho.

riggy10

big papa, yeah, states rb5 on insurance and v5, although havent managed to get hold of dvla, again will let you guys know what happens !!!

If it says RB5 on the V5C get it resprayed in the dark metalic silver, get hold of the spoiler and other bits and make it worth a little bit more lol!
