i was told today by a Subaru dealer that the only blue my00 are available in is the dark metallic (Mica) blue. I have seen a couple of wagons in Rally Blue, is this a JDM colour?
|
Sonic blue was also a colour, but for Euro & EIRE cars only I believe.
|
so does that mean I’m limited to red, silver, mica blue or mica red for a 00my UK car?
|
deep blue (dark mica to every one else) colour code 95h was the only uk blue in 2000 as far as my records show.
think danny b is right about sonic blue |
ps
i have listed every subaru colour known to a major paint manufacturer so if you want to know what colour your car is put a post on here some where. giving the colour code |
Petenaud's spot on - the MY00 changed to "deep blue mica", rather than dark blue mica.
The only way of getting a UK spec car with Sonic blue was to import one from mainland EU. The factory happily made them, but Subaru UK didn't want the colour for anything other than special editions... |
Or buy a P1

Can't get my BMX in a P1....thanks for all the info, I guess I’m gonna be another silver wagon driver!

Don't forget that Euro cars are UK Spec. Everything would have been the same except for the CAT 1 alarm, which will almost certainly be a retrofit anyway. The only other difference that springs immediately to mind is the three year warranty, which will have expired now anyway (Euro cars had one year). Price of course is the main benefit, Euro's were significantly cheaper new, remain so on the 2nd hand market.....but that argument has been done to death on here more times than anyone cares to remember. A search on SN will give you more thoughts than you can shake a stick at. |
Cheers mancamefirst, but is a euro spec a grp17 or a grp20 like a JDM car?
|
Same insurance as a UK car
|
cool, thanks for the info!
|
My Sonic Blue MY00 was bought in Dublin and I pay UK insurance prices.
|
I have a MY00 Sonic blue Belgian import, the only difference indeed is the alarm. I think it is worth the effort finding one. Everyone comments on the colour and say's that 'you don't see many'. I my opinion it is by far the nicest colour. I LOVE IT!!
|
Derek, How did you go about finding and then importing your car...what is the cost differential between a UK car and a Euro car (if any...)?
