Car on auto trader
I was browsing on auto trader and saw this, something's not right though, it appears to be a my05 jdm sti fitted with a hawk front but has uk clocks and rear lights. The inter cooler and strut brace are jdm. Seems a mixture of parts to me.

id guess the clocks have been changed from jdm to uk for an easy fix to get the speedo in miles rather than km and uk lights fitted so as not to put a under bumper foglight in as it has an aftermarket foglight switch fitted also
it has a rear wiper so probably is a jdm, when imported they sometimes have the wrong year plates fitted so may not be a hawk conversion and a legit car.

the jdm will be in km and require a convertors to be in miles, putting uk clocks in is an easy fix.
but id be wary of the mileage due to different clocks being fitted.
i.e. the jdm car had done 100,000 miles now it has uk clocks reading 20.000
an easy way to lose a few thousand and added to that losing the jdm sweeping clocks which most people much prefer.
all in all an odd solution, maybe above board but you never know.
the rear lights is nothing to worry about as its better than having a hole cut for a fog light or one hanging underneath

Also has a different air scoop with breaker/2nd hand parts dealer writing on it still
It ain't got 18" wheels either, If it's only had 1 owner it should still have the import paperwork and mot's to prove mileage, It's not been registered in Ireland by any chance has it, If it has you're gonna find it hard to fin out if it's totally legit.

Interesting that it says it's a 2005 model not registered until 2009, and the plate is a non-dating one.
And those clocks - 17k in 4 years?
Questions that would need answering.
Looks nice mind you !
