Insurance companies know as much about Imprezas as my wife mate.

On the vin plate will be a 'applied model code', type that code into this site and it will tell you what your car is.
It doesn't look like an STI to me that's all mate,

gc8c48d is a WRX buddy.
DVLA have probably got the wrong info when imported. Id let them and the insurance know as you may save a few quid if you change it to a WRX.
