05 wrx interiors
Im looking around for an 05 wrx in crystal grey and ive noticed that the seat designs seem to vary. Most are normal looking but a few ive seen look a bit better and have like a lump of material i suppose in between your legs. Hope that makes sense

Yes, most Euro imports have the lump between the seats. If you are looking to buy, then don't worry if it is EU import, just pay about £1k-£1500 less. Also make sure it has locking wheel nuts and more importantly a Thatcham Cat 1 alarm.
Most people think the import seats are more supportive, but most don't have side airbags. Your choice!

I think the ones you have seen that don't have the lump in the middle have side air bags in them. The ones that do have the lump (more like a conventional bucket seat) don't have airbags IIRC.

The import seats. I had UK WRX seats in mine, but changed the interior for a JDM STI with the lump in the middle of the seat (to rest your nuts ), looks better imo. But as said, because my old seats had airbags, these don't, meaning my airbag warning light is on all the time (need to get that sorted)

yes the import ones do look better. Is there no uk ones with these fitted then? So basically if i look at a car i know for definate if its an import or not by the seats?
Is there any difference in an import car though eg servicing, parts etc...

AFAIK, if it has the lump then it is an import. But, if it doesn't then it could be either (but more likely UK). I think the UK cars have a mini centre sun visor and the imports don't (someone may corfirm this or not).
If it is an EU car (not Jap), then servicing is supposed to be every 15k km (9300m), instead of 10k miles, but there's no harm in switching to UK service schedule. Parts and insurance are the same.

I am after a pair of import spec WRX seats to put in my UK car if anyone knows of any for sale, I think they look better and are more supportive, but I don't want to put sti trim in as I do like the black interior.
