the dude selling it says its a jdm but is it? or has he just pained it white?

It hasn't got JDM Recaro's

Also, it's a facelift, and IIRC, none have been imported into the UK as there isn't a model report fro them.

I think the facelift JDMs all get the lesser recaro seats. Also, check out the wing indicators, facelift JDMs don't have them in the mirrors or wings as they are not required IIRC. On a UKDM 2004 car the indicators would be in the mirrors.

Need to see the documentation to be sure.

Good observations my man. It could well be then. Super rare in the UK if it is.

Looks like the Premier recaros, rear seats look like the JDM ones though

A ****er to tax aswell I imagine. And I wouldn't pay 12500 for it.

 

[Chris ABDN]

yeah pretty pricey, wonder how much he paid to get it imported

I'm a noob at these things, so be kind! But wouldnt the boot be shaped to take a Jap license plate? As whats on there now looks like a botched job?

Get that man a medal, it does look a bit suspicious from the plate, i also thought they had the Jap style recess, this one looks like a Jap Adapter bracket, could be wrong though

Nope, they have the same tailgate as UK cars, check out dotty's.

They were made in Swindon with the UK cars, and given better specs

It'll have HIDS if it's a JDM won't it... that's a nice easy way to spot one as the ballasts aren't an aftermarket addon jobbie.

Aren't HID's an option as part of the 'C Pack'??

I'm pretty sure they are standard on the JDM tbh Hippy.

Yeah they are standard on JDM EP3's.

 

[CTR_Paul]

There you go then, a nice simple way to determine it's JDMness

Just found this on fleabay myself.

Seats do look the same as the Prem Recaros but that was the point of them wasn't it? To make them just like the Jap ones.

'04 for £12,500. +£5k on my car then, is that about right for a JDM?

These two pics also make me think it's a true JDM.

The inside of the bay is white. If it had been resprayed, it would have been a proper stripped down job:

The rear seats are JDM style two seater bench. The UK one doesn't go in like that:

my UKDM with red carpet taken in sh*& camera that makes it look pink :ghey::
