Anybody,

seen a Subaru site which lets you pick different colours for an WRX / STI and the view from various angles??

Can't make my mind up at the moment (STI)...what do you guys think?

Blue's nice (why I picked it), but it's becoming really common.

Having seen black STI7s, this will be my colour of choice next time.

I agree, sonic blue is becoming too common, the 'cool grey' colour in the Sti's looks really nice, I've been looking at a black sti-V and it looks very individual and menacing.

Go to Subaru Benelux.

Select the model and the colours cycle on screen before your very eyes. Requires FLASH and high download speed.

Cheers everybody.

Of the colours available (UK STI) what colours sell most? From my own experience it would be WRC Mica blue (50%), Black/Blue (20%), Silver (15%) White (15%)?? Anybody have a view?

Looked into buying a Focus for girlfriend lat year - fancied silver, but 7/10 focus's silver. Is it same with WRC mica blue?

Finally, will not be able to afford new rims for a while so what looks best with gold wheels?

Go for Blue/Black, Black and gold always go well together.

and when the sun shines on the 'clean' paintwork, you can see a nice metallic blue hue....

If you are wanting the prodrive style, it only comes in sonic blue and blue/black.

Silver looks nice, but IMHO the gold wheels make it look shall we say odd.

Not seen a white one to comment, but note gold wheels comment above.

I wanted a black one but two things put me off
1. I'd have to clean it every day
2. It may sound odd, but the STI lettering at the front blanking plates for the PD version were pink.

Blue may be common, but at least I don't have to wash it twice a day.

I've just been looking through the scoobynet pictures of all your cars (some very tasty cars!!). Can I make a suggestion for people with very slow 56k modems like me - please put model / colour and mods in title, that way I don't wait for 10 mins for a picture I'm not interested in.....

Any chance of some standard MY02 STI pics on here (various colours, but particularly gold wheels on blue/black or white or silver) - it's a bu88er trying to make my mind up (tough job I know!)

Cheers

Shame they don't do the STi in deep blue mica - the kindest colour to have a WRX in !

AndyS44,

If I can find the pics, I've got a blue/black with the mudflap mods [adds 20Bhp per wheel fitted! ]


Neil,
So I take it that you have removed the PINK STi logo's from the rest of the car then?
