Chris howard Posted July 20, 2018 Author Share Posted July 20, 2018 2 doors , and the model code says its a 1999 type r, but the dvla have the car listed as a wrx sti only , so how do i get sufficient evidence to prove its a type r using the vin number Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 2 door import is one of only 2 cars. a type R or 22b, wont be a 22b (trust me you;d know if you had one) so can tell you 100% it will be a Type R. Sounds like its be registered wrong at the DVLA, which isnt uncommon. get some pics up :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
