I will be ordering a WRX with PPP at the end of this month (Replacing MY00), but which colour????

My first choice is black, but worried about stone chips, scratches etc and the fact that my dealer told me 3 months for delivery on black or green ones.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Must admit I think so far the best "picture" of a wagon I've seen is in black. Must be the fact that all the trim and lines match.
That said I've owned black and it's a PITA to keep clean; resigned to the belief dirt protected the paint .

Silver is nice, alot of silver on the road though; can't get on with the green, need to see one in the flesh I think. Red's never good after owning two tone citroen's.

For me it will be black or th mica blue I think.

I've got Silver with colour coded sills. I prefer it as it looks slightly understated.

A big bonus of Silver is that it seems to hide the dirt more.

I can take some photos and mail them to you if you want. I would post them but am having trouble with my turbosport log in.

also think that Silver looks better with the Anthracite wheels.

Silver with colour coding and side strips...




and without colour coding...


Have the colour coding done whatever you go for. Black shows dirt and looks dull when it's not pristinely clean. WR Blue is everywhere on scoobs. Silver is everywhere on every other car.

So, blend in with the populous as a whole, or blend in with scoobs, or spend every day cleaning the thing... The choice is yours

I like the understated view of a silver wagon, but I'm exceptionally biased

The red one in evo looks mind you .... Nick, are you going to colour code the side strips? I went for the wr blue, had mica red last time - the paint seems just as crappy soft as the my00 paint.

Thanks for the advise and photo's, anyone have pictures of their Blue or Black one's?

What a difficult decision and why don't they do DBM any more? I like dark blue!!!

Cheers all,
Dan
