check the plate under the bonnet for the Model Code.
This is my Model code. GC8A47D
The model code is a seven digit code used to identify each model in the range.
This code is found on the VIN plate in the engine bay.
The following list breaks down the code reading from left to right.
# Series code: G=Impreza S=Forester B=Legacy
# Body type: F=Wagon C=Sedan
# Engine type: 8=2.0L Turbo
# Year code: A=MY93 B=MY94 C=MY95/96 D=MY97 E=MY98 F=MY99 G=MY00
# Number of doors: 2=2 door coupe 4=4 door saloon 5=5 door sports wagon
# Model type: 8= WRX 7= Type RA E = STi D =STi Type R & RA
# Transmission: D=5 Speed Manual AWD P=4 Speed Automatic AWD
Broken down, the model code of an MY 95 WRX STi Type RA would be GC8C47D.
SO if your Model code is GC8A48D then it's a WRX

Can this be changed by the DVLA, and will this cause problems at resale time??
