Default How do you tell the diffenrence between and genuine and fake sti coupe?

am pretty interested in the car below but am not sure on whether its a genuine STI coupe.

Find Cheap Used & Second Hand Cars For Sale | Brentwood | Gumtree Classifieds

only thing i know is that sti's dont come with fog lamps and it also doesnt have sti rear tail lights.

any help would be appreciated guys as i would like to know what to look for before viewing the car.

Cheers

There were no other coupes bought into AUS that weren't STi.

No AUDM STi's do as far as I know, STI lights don't have the rear fog light which is required by law.

Looks like it may of been in an accident..

Ie subaru sticker missing off front slam panel and the fact they have now fitted fogs..

Last 3 digits of vin will be the build number out of 400..
And the adm sti coupe's came with std wrx rear lights.

LOL at all the muppets who bought them above dealer prices when they first came out in 99 thinking they would appreciate in price

Check by the VIN. its the easiest way. and correct, only 2 doors officially into aus were STI.
WTF is a slam panel?
