Redkop the fact that the car has the foglight in the rear bumper proves that it is a UK car. Imports do not come with a foglight hence why you see jap cars with the "after thought" fog light stuck under the bumper to pass SVA test when imported. Also import MR's were only in 280 and 310bhp variants.

The car is definitely a UK car. Hope this clears the debate up.
