Last of the Breed Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Hi all. New member. Just bought what I'm told is the last WRX STi UK Model to be registered in the UK (New Reg on Sept 30th 2013) On a personal plate S555 ??? remembering Colin & Richard in their Subaru 555 WRC days. When & if I sell it on it will apparently be re-registered on a unique '63 plate. Very proud of my investment and if it lasts as long as my previous Scooby Imprezza then I will be well pleased :) Happy motoring to you all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay762 Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Wotcha and welcome - that is quite some machine!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Yep like that a lot! And you had the spoiler too, great choice I'd have had it on to :D And the plate just helps it just look that bit more special. Did you have to jump through hoops and fire to get the plate changed ?

Last of the Breed Posted October 8, 2013 Author Share Posted October 8, 2013 The spoiler, the lip spoiler, the alloys & tyres, the lower mesh grille and a Pioneer Satnav were all fitted as extras via the Dealer before I picked it up so the insurance are happy and they are all classed as 'factory fit'. Those externals set it off for me :D Nope on the reg number... I bought the plate for £269 on 16/09/13 via Plates4less, which included the £80 DVLA fee and it was registered as a 1st registration with the Certificate of Entitlement that I forwarded onto the Dealer, so that they could register it on 30/09/13. Very easy, it never had a '63 plate allocated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 I knew the spoilers was an extra and the Pioneer Satnav didn't know about the splitter/lip and grill though. And I agree does look very nice and would have done the same. I know if you had gone without the rear spoiler and then thought I would really like one later on you have to buy the full boot and spoiler, as the ones with out the spoiler don't have the support to hold the weight of it :) And stroke of luck then with the plate. then I did see someone trying to sell a plate like that on here for £5k more then I would ever pay ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Last of the Breed Posted October 8, 2013 Author Share Posted October 8, 2013 Yep.. had to have a new boot lid, struts and decals etc etc.. I thought it would never end lol.. but very pleased with the looks and the performance is really quite frightening. But as yet, I haven't driven it like I stole it ;) . The twin exhausts are so quiet compared to the single Vortex Afterburner I had fitted on my other Scooby but will see how the pennies are (Hah, who am I kidding? POUNDS!! lots and lots of them lol ) and think long and hard about Prodrives louder ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 The Prodrive one is not too loud at all - does sound good though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Last of the Breed Posted October 8, 2013 Author Share Posted October 8, 2013 Not too bothered by the loud... like the sound of a flat 4 but can't really hear it through the factory fit ones :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Seen some nice one's on youtube that sound really nice worth checking out for idea if you haven't already ;) And let's face it you have started to spend the penny's so the pounds can't look after the're self's now :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
