hello all,

I bought a 2002 bugeye sti ppp impreza on friday... Never had an impreza before so i'am new to them... I joined the site to get as much info as I can and was wondering why there is two different front bumpers on the sti bugeye.. please view photo... the one i bought has a bumper like the righthand car in the photo

The one on the left is the Prodrive bumper, one on the right is the standard one.
Have you got the Prodrive certificate? Just read your thread agian and you have the bumper form the car on the right, this is the normal one, it may have been changed but the PPP has several changes from standard.

alarm bells a ringing now ... she has ppp cert in book ... I checked the car over completely and it looks very straight apart from the bumper...

here are pics of my car

Bugeye ppp could just be performance pack whereas the other is a prodrive style bugeye this was available either with or without the ppp performance package.

Speedophile

Hopefully your right ,the performance pack consists of what exactly daz1968....

Oops above is correct, you could get the prodrive with out the kit, sure there is a thread on here that lists the differences, or Google it.

Have you got blue clocks with red needles like below, this is part of the Prodrive pack.



There is also the back box that will have Prodrive stamped on it, same with the CAT.
from what I know which may get questioned on here is that the performance pack was the following:
100 cell Cat
Exhaust
Dash clocks
ECU updated

Then there was the Prodrive "Style" which had the bumper, rear spoiler and other bits, no updates as above.

Dont think the blue dials are part of the PPP

I have a "prodrive WRX STI" which has a different styling package(left hand pic) to your "STI WRX" (right hand pic)

yours has a PPP (prodrive performance pack) but these bits can/may have been changed . Mine for instance doesnt have PPP , so dont think that yours isnt a worse car just different styling.

Thanks lads for the help , Yep blue clocks and prodrive exhaust fitted.... Guessing it had a bumper fitted at some time, think I need to source one to complete the car... The car itself is in top condition interior/exterior and driving wise ...

Wonder is it worth doing hip check , or is there a site were I can enter chassis number to get the cars spec

Go to a Subaru dealer and give then you VIN number, they should be able to tell you, a HPI check should have been done before you bought the car just to be sure there is no recorded history or outstanding finiance etc on the car.

You probably have the normal uk STI with the ppp fitted, the other car is the full prodrive version.

If its a prodrive style it should state wrx sti prodrive on the v5. If not then its a normal wrx sti with performance pack. Prodrive style and prodrive performance pack are two totally different things. The prodrive style also had high level rear spoiler as standard whereas normal bug sti had wrx spoiler as standard.

Cheers daz what bhp is the wrx sti with ppp
