Lucy Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Hi everyone, I have recently purchased a 1997 version 3 WRX STI impreza type R. 2 door. Gc8d2dd. It has the 555 seats but what I want to know is, is my car actually 1 of only 555? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quit Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Has it got a plaque in front if gear stick ? What colour is it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucy Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 Hi, thanks for your reply. It's sonic blue 74f. No it doesn't have the plaque nor the commemorative badge on boot. This is why I'm confused. It's deffo not a p1 as it's imported from japan. And chin spoiler etc etc is different. It has the dccd. I really want it to be a special one but there's so many different imprezas out there!! I just wanna exactly what it is I have parked outside :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quit Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 The 555 edition wasn't sonic blue as far as I'm aware it was a bit darker Not 100% tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 +1 for 555's being darker blue and having a plaque/boot sticker . Don't think I've seen a 2door 555 all the 555's I've seen have been saloons (might have seen a wagon with the graphics but unsure if it was a true 555). I think most type r's had dccd . V3 sti type r's are a lovely motor anyways and in most people's eyes it will be a bit special ......

Gambit Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 3rd that was darker and also think it was a 4 door we have a member on here with one. Didn't it have a special set of alloy's too like the prodrive do ? I will have a look for the picture of the 555 on here he helped Hails with her wedding car :) long time ago being sold http://uk.subaruownersclub.com/forums/topic/1028-subaru-impreza-555-wrx/ And Hails photos with a 555 on it http://uk.subaruownersclub.com/forums/gallery/member/801-hails555/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucy Posted May 29, 2014 Author Share Posted May 29, 2014 Hi everyone and thank you for your replies. The paint code is 74f which I thought was sonic blue but I could be wrong! The car is imported from japan so it's not a p1 as shown in the picture from new era. I believe it was the first of the 2 doors...It has the 555 seats with the red shoulder pieces. But no other 555 markings. I will try and upload some pictures! Thanks for your help guys, either way she is LOVELY to drive :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 I must admit from the picture she does look lovely and a worthy buy I do like the 2 doors been tempted for a few years to get one myself and do the hole 22b look From a quick look it does show that that code was used on the 555 also on the P1's but there can be different versions in colour The Jap 555 car I've seen use a colour code 53c but that might be just because of the year and is also a 4 door with the main code on the vin GC8C4ED so almost the same as your's I know I've put a Japaneses description thing somewhere I will look for it :) Dates 09/96 - 08/97 Model of Impreza WRX type R STi Version Applied Model GC8D2DD Option Codes 81839193 Engine type EJ20K DW6PR Power (PS) 280 Shift type Manual Transmission Type TY752VB5CATY752VB5CATY752VB5CATY752VB5CA Comment First 2 door coupe Year Color/Code Introduced.1993Light Silver 406Blade Silver 262Feather White 230Black Mica 47A1994Deep Green 307Deep Blue 3311995Medium Grey Metallic 217Glacier White 230Slate Gray Metallic 49B/943Black Pearl 952/052Light Green 56BMedium Grey Metallic 217Glacier White 230Carmine Pearl 309Blue Green Metallic 3401996Dark Blue Mica 52DFlamy Red 936/336Carmine Pearl 340Caribbean Green Metallic 43BCobalt Blue Metallic 3311997Reddish Blue 65cDark Blue Pearl 416Brilliant Red 559Sonic Blue 74F1998Light Silver Metallic 406Black Mica Pearl 47ABlue Metallic 66CNew 555 Blue Pearl 74F1999Royal Silver Metallic 792Blue Steel Metallic 86F2000Red Mica Pearl 82FPure or Aspen White 51ETitanium Pearl 89NRuby Pearl 947Sedona Red Pearl 94HRed Mica 94HBlue Ridge Pearl Metallic 95HDeep Blue Mica 95HDark Blue Pearl 416Deep Green Metallic 3072001Green Metallic 64CW R Blue 02C2002Midnight Black 08VBlue Black Mica 08VBlaze Yellow 797Platinum Silver Metallic 01GPremium Silver 01GBlack Mica Pearl 47A2003Sonic Yellow 13V2004Ice Blue 23GJava Black Metallic 18LSan Remo Red 22GBright Red 22GSteel Gray Metallic 26DSavanna Green Metallic 07V2005Obsidian Black Metallic 32JRegal Blue Pearl 35JAqua Blue Metallic 47WCrystal Gray Metallic 48W2006Evergreen Matallic 55M2007Satin White Pearl 37JGarnet Red Pearl 33JNewport Blue 64ZUrban Grey Matallic 45A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
