Good choice or do you regret it and wish you had had another colour?

Son of X2WRX 20 July 2003 03:04 PM

u want to get one in WR blue that is the proper colour

black would be my second choice

Brun 20 July 2003 03:21 PM

Get Black :D
Far too many blues around ;)

StiShrek 20 July 2003 03:26 PM

got black sti version 5

dont regret when clean but regret when constantly trying to keep clean

scratches are a nightmare too

BlueBlood 20 July 2003 03:37 PM

Yes have a Black STi8 with silver FF18" wheels. Pig to keep clean, but prefer it to all the others.

If you have a fast connection you can see pics @, they are all very high res.

Black Sti8

Thanks blueblood had a look at yr pics earlier from an old link.

Managed to do a great(imo) deal to upgrade sti7 to 8, but have the WR Blue one now so was thinking of a colour change. Worred that bonnet stone chips and scratches will show up more.

Brun 20 July 2003 05:40 PM

White is nice and rare :D

TON3 20 July 2003 06:28 PM

Get blue if u want 2 be the same as everyone else, black 2 me is the best colour, ******* 2 keep clean but looks fekin lovely! ;)

S.B. 20 July 2003 06:30 PM

If you have the time to keep it clean and looking its best then black is the dogs danglies.....:D

MattW 21 July 2003 09:11 AM

Leaning towards the Black, anyone else?

ROBO 21 July 2003 09:40 AM

I`ve got a black one on order, PPP, quickshift, 18" wheels, boost gauge, light tints on windows, Black STi Mudflaps, Prodrive Gear knob.
Get a blue one.

MattW 21 July 2003 09:59 AM

Lol - same spec as I'm after

Turbo_Nutter 21 July 2003 10:23 AM

A mate of mine replaced his Cossie with one recently and has had the PPP kit fitted. I always thought if I bought one it would have to be blue but after seeing his in black, I am impressed!

scoobysug 21 July 2003 12:46 PM

mine is as blubloods, with foglights and debadged, except his is cleaner! don't regret the colour at all, looks ace and doesn't get as much attention from the baseball cap brigade or the feds. go for it!

MattW 21 July 2003 12:52 PM

Scooby L - love those wheels, been looking at them already. Edited to ask what size tyres fit the 18's??

Hi Matt,

They are Toyo 225/40/ZR18's

They came on the wheels when I ordered them from Scoobyspot.

(The wheels are silver as atandard, not gold as in on SS the web page)

MattW 21 July 2003 03:30 PM

Scoobysport no longer import them. FYI(in case of replacements) you can get them from www.elitedirect.com per wheel.

scooby L 21 July 2003 03:37 PM

cheers

I didn't know that...
One quick note:
I've had them touched up once since getting them, they are a nightmare with stone chips & kerbs (Because they overhang the tyre wall) and are first to touch anything, my parking has had to improve no end!!


MattW 21 July 2003 03:43 PM

Mmmm.....good point, Scoobysport now do the Speedline FloForm, may have to take a look at those.
