they are std WRX/UK turbo heads from the same age car that use a solid shim ABOVE the bucket (you can see the small cutaway that allows the shim to be removed) - these are slightly larger than a std 10p piece

the pukka UNDER bucket shims sit direct onto the valve stem and are smaller than a 5p piece
