Look out the window at the car?

Is it grey?

If it is then its likey an RB5. (or a V5/6 STI)

If it isn't the insurance company has it wrong or you've bought a ringer.

Check the vin plate, cant remember off hand for the colour code for cool gray (horrid yank spelling but we say grey and its better ) the car will also have UK clocks, nice RB5 interior, solid rear bulkhead, I "think" it will have map lights too, no UK MY99 turbo had those.

RB5s don't have a solid rear bulkhead. Remember the thread from a few months back? All they have over the UK cars is a bolt on tie bar across the 'hole' in the rear bulk head. Rear seats don't fold of course.

86F Steel blue metallic

That's the paint code.

If the seats have blue alcantara on them, it's an RB5. Oh and it'll have a plaque infront of the front ashtray.
