Default New here! Got some questions

Hey guys, just bought myself a Subaru WRX 2005 UK 300 and love it but I have some questions...

1. How do I know if it is a genuine UK300, it's got the seats, kit and SWRT on the inter cooler. But is there a proper way of finding out?


2. When I apply the brakes at speed the steering wheel wobbles, I'm gathering a guess that it's warped discs but not too sure...

Regards, here's a couple of pics

Nice car mate am sure these have a plaque inside on the dash irrc and possibly I'd under the bonnet... Someone's changed spoiler too mate as that's a Sti v7/8 spoiler not the uk 300 model

Looks as if it could be a "WRX 300"

yes should have small spoiler though, but looks as if someone has fitted a roof vane,sti spoiler and some sti front bumper spats, shouldnt worry though as it looks better.
the wrx 300 is just a wrx with different seats anyway
