Question Is it or isn't it?

How do?

Been looking more and more over the scoob since my investment in her,
How do i know if its an import?
It has uk spec plates but theres loads of trippy japanese writing on the vinplate,
it also has power folding mirrors and the indicator stalk is on the right hand side of the wheel...

How can i tell for sure?

cheers

What year is it, but it does sound like an import to me.

VIN is the easiest mate. 17 characters for here, much shorter for JDM.

Plug it in here SUBARU

On a Jap import the Fuel gauge will be on the left of the cluster and temp on the right and rev counter on the right/speedo on the left.

On a UK car they are vice versa.
