Gosh! didn't realise a spoiler could cause so much controversy!

Hi I recently put my UK STI PPP up for sale. The thing is It has the low spoiler because its what was preferred by the 40+ owner before me and coincidentally- also preferred myself...... its just a little less in you face.. or the rear view mirror
You would never believe how many people don't think its an STI. Its advertised on Autotrader and Pistonheads. I have had a phone calls probably every hours or so since I put it up for sale 3 days ago with people questioning it. What’s wrong with people- can't they see its an STI by all the other indicators-Brembos, red engine- interior, the list is endless- its even got the Log book and the chassis no on the advert. It takes one phone call to Subaru to confirm.
This has actually made me laught out loud - quite funny that its cause so much controversy. Is it an sti? is it a WRX? is it a import?- is it? is it? is it?.
The car is a SUBARU IMPREZA WRX STI TYPE UK PPP................ with..... you guess it ....the low spoiler. thats it
Just thought I would share my funny experience

Whats wrong with the add? It's an STi, with a low level spoiler, a chap near where I work has got an identical car but in black, full blown 04 STi but he opted for a discreet WRX spoiler

I guess it's quite unusual as most people see it as a downgrade, rather than an upgrade, as you are actually putting on something from a lesser model.
Let's face it, if you sold a WRX with a high level spoiler, no-one would say "are you sure it's not an STi"?

At least its not a Yank car, they remove the spoilers on theres
got to admit I completly fail to see the reason for the infraction, maybe someone wet the bed this morning and pressed the wrong button

As you say it does make a complete mockery of the Infraction system IMHO IIRC AFAICR,
The spoiler is not my cup of tea but everyone to their own
IMHO
