Default What Scooby do i own...??

Hi all, i wondered if someone could help me regarding which Impreza i actually own ....I am in the Army in Cyprus and i have recently purchased what i believe to be a WRX (99 or 00 MY) the Applied model code is as follows: GC8GK8D and the engine type is EJ205NW1KD. After i have undergone many searches on various websites, i am unable to work out if my Scooby is an Import or a UK spec car. It has right hand side of the steering column indicators, i cant see a stuck on rear fog light on the back and im totally baffled as to WTF i actually have...!! I am genuinely concerned also that it may in actual fact be stolen and someone has just stuck on a different plate...lol Anyway. Thanks for any help that any one can offer....!

Indicators on the right would suggest Import...

Get some photos up of the Car mate inc interior/clocks and anything else you may think might help.

The K in the applied code was only used for UK cars as far as I know as imports have the number of doors in this part of the applied code.

GC8 Saloon Turbo
G-MY00
K-????
8-Basic model (not STI or RA)
D-Manual

everythings pointing towards it being a uk turbo 2000,you should be able to see the transmission code underneath the intercooler stood from the passenger side written on a label on the gearbox itself im tipping this will be 752VB as fitted to uk models

It's a UK car, version 6 (not actually given a version number as its a UK car).
Same model code as the RB5.

Will have a 754 box at that age, probably a TY754VN1AA
