it looks liek one.
its either a 555 or a sti v limited
i think the only way to tell when the badges are missing is that the 555 has signitures on front seats v limited does not.

Correct The WRX Type RA Version II STi V-Limited did have a roof vent but it also had badges on the boot, a numbered plaque, signed seats (driver and co-driver), air con, green glass (i think) but no mudflaps from the factory LOL

Pics of my old 555 - all correct and original AFAIK apart from the 'type-RA' badge on the back, which I know a previous owner bought on Ebay and stuck there for some reason:

When i bought my car the original seats had already been removed. I then bought the prodrive seats that are in it just now. Its should be over the 300 mark but it hasnt been on the rollers with its current set up.
