Odd VIN HELP

[ChrisD]

Hello all, 

 

I am trying to understand my VIN but it doesnt follow any of the guidance online. (Such as...)

http://www.cars101.com/subaru/vin.html

 

 

My car is a 2003 Blobeye impreza WRX 

 

the VIN follows this format 

 

JFIGDXXX##X03####

X = Letters, # = Number 

 

I have left some numbers and letters in just to make it a bit easier to track. 

i can get the JFIGD as that is the same as the guide, from Japan made by Fuji, Passanger car, Impreza, 4 Door Saloon. 

 

Any help you can give me would be awesome :)

also help on Trim code : B20, 

Colour Code 18L

Option Code EC

and model GDACK8D

 

Thank you :)

GDA. = 2.0L Impreza WRX saloon (New Age)

 

trim code = interior colour, so black in your case

 

option code = i think EC might be manual, but not much info around on the exact meanings

 

 

colour code = paint colour

 

o and must be a UK car, the vin on my type R i s GC8-####### which is a japanese vin number

Thanks Tidgy, 

 

is there any name for the color code? as its black with mica gold fleck, so not the ordinary paint.
