would this be the similar bit of kit i had on my forester? wasn't quite done at new though, from what i can work out it was at first service.
got a nice certificate with it tho, but no badges
can imagine your motor is a rare as hens teeth matey, never come across one!
Your forester only got the PPP and required wheel upgrade.
The WR Sport as per the posted document includes
Similar upgrades were available for earlier models... but not under the WR Sport banner
My MY97 turbo 2000, over the first 2v years of its life, visited Prodrive for the Interior Package install and had the Driving Enhancement Package and Exterior Package installed at the Dealers although the rear spoiler was originally of a lesser upgrade than what it eventually finished up with as shown here.
-
Missing second page of the PPP info
-
As you rightly say the WR Sport "Branded" Package as a whole was made available for MY99/00 cars from new.
The individual "packages" were available separately and most were available prior to this.

most old speedos always showhigher han actual.
But i would imagine the 17" impreza wheels/tyres and incorrect rolling radius is partialy to blame. Maybe have impreza tyres on so eg. 40 profile and should be 50 profile closer to forester original wheels rolling radius.
@The Don has more accurate knowledge
The wheels fitted are part of/requirement of the Prodrive upgrade for the SF forester and come with 215/50/R17 tyres
Subaru speedos usually reads about 10% fast

East Kent subaru spares seem to be breaking an early white forester STI at the moment - but no mirrors listed

Thanks again Don , the plug I have is black not white can this be de-dinned ?
Most plugs can be de-pinned, you just need to find out how it's achieved.
Here is another example taked from the Subaru Harness repair kit information
-
RH motor assembly with heat 91029SA021
LH motor assembly with heat 91029SA031
I think the only difference between non heated motors is the additional wiring required
Looks as if they were fitted to the early Cross sport as well.
-
You have to de-pin the plug
notice plug removed in my photo
From Litchfield's fitting instructions (carefully making a note of where each wire goes)

-
The associated mirror HEATED glass appear to have the same part numbers as UK Newage Imprezas.
Heated Glass RH - 91039AC180 LH 91039AC190
Rest of mirror including skullcaps are listed as different due to different door mount etc..
-
Yuo can remove/replace the blue skull cap but you also need to remove the glass to take out the motor assembly
UK and JDM foresters have totally different part numbers
UK mirrors have non replaceable motors
-
I took my JDM mirrors apart to convert to Heated.
To replace the motor it is the complete item, top left below and as shown on the parts diagram above.
Also the method of attaching the mirror glass varies.
Mine above if you tilt the glass fully so looking upwards, there are two slots on the white backing plate above that you can use a screwdriver in to release the bottom of the glass and then tilt it all the way down and unhook the two pegs at the top.
Noy sure on the earlier models, you used to have to heat the plastic rim of the glass to release it, usually breaking it in the process.
-
Confirm revision letter C or D - I think we said C on Saturday.
Heated or not mirrors?
RH or LH side??
-
To get any further discount you would need to become a "paid up" member of SIDC (£20 per annum) purchased via the shop.
-
Probably £107 +VAT
Item E3610FJ800
You could get them from Partsouq for US$82.77 but after Import VAT and any admin charge would be about the same.
-
Others on Scoobynet seem to like them.
Will you have something to cover up shortly??
-
Had the phonecall yesterday for this and the airbag recall.
Booked in for the 1st October

A major step backwards in my opinion?
Compared to the current Impreza?
As the WRX /WRX STI /Levorg are "supposed" to be developing their own identity, we'll have to wait and see how that comes to fruition.
-
Reading the various articles we may get a teaser at this years Tokyo Motor Show in October and a new version "may be" shown at next years Tokyo motor show so nothing solid until 2021
As an aside next years, JDM Impreza - Whether it will come to the UK who knows.
2020 Impreza (G14 revision D)
