I'm just about to order my MY01

Not sure what colour to go for. Heart says WR Blue, 'cos it looks good. Head says Silver 'cos it's more practical and won't show scratches.

Any thoughts?

the only bug eye ive seen that looked half decent was a black or blue/black one with morrettes. seen a silver one in real life, i honestly thought it was a daewoo/corolla
definately blue/black, and at least its a bit rarer.

I have a WR Blue MY01 and have to say it stands out from the crowd even if more people seem to drive em! (Common colour I guess
Silver comes in a very close second in my book!

Nick..

Heh Nigel

Just to confuse you even more. I have a DBM wrx and I think that is colour. Sophisticated and not som in your face as the WR blue and silver. Hoping it means less tugs from the old bill.

Whatever colour, it matters not, you will have a ball. Awesome car!

Mine's a Silver.

Depending on the Day I wish I had gone for a WR Blue instead.

Mine's silver and looks good. But as with BobaFett sometimes wish I had WR Blue.

WR Blue is more easily identified by the uninitiated as a fast Subaru, particularly with gold wheels. So, if you want to be real flash go for that.

DBM looks classy.

I agree with DT, if your gonna get WR Blue then the gold wheels are a must.

Don't forget that you'll need to replace the front lights and get a nice big rear spoiler ;-)

Sorry - not wanting to upset anyone - but:

DBM, colour coded body kit and Pimp Tints looks best by a mile. Plus a little bit of morette and new spoiler added for extra flava. Then nice SILVER wheels - add LEDA and then bring to boil with a PPP.

But hey, im a little biased

Silver for high mileage and Blue for low mileage.

Blue tends to show the chips more and difficult to match.

Silver

Morrettes essential too....
