Apparently, green is a common colour, however I have seen more in blue and silver...

I spent a month looking for a green one a couple of years ago. (The only colour I was allowed to have ) They're not a special edition colour. Peppermint green ones are very rare though.

Should add mine's a UK turbo. I've not (knowingly) seen a deep green JDM import before.

I have a green uk car, but have never seen a green import. Was this ever a Jap colour ? Someone on here will know.

when i was looking for mine, i only ever saw UK Turbo's in Green, Never JDM ones.

JDM Cars are (usually) better specced, more powerful, and cost less to buy. but... being as your so young, you may have problems finding insurance for JDM cars.

they never done a green turboed version in japan.they did them in the n/a type cars for a short time i think. I think over here the green uk cars are quite rare especially in the north east as the most common colour is sonic blue and then maybe silver.Green is the best ha ha but unlucky.

Hiya Saint...

ive seen you post on the BHC website.. next time im at the meet pop over and say Hello... i believe the venue has changed now.

To my knowledge, green was only ever used as a uk colour for scoobs..

Tonight Im determined to find the JDM Wrx a saw about 6 weeks ago it was dark green and had just been imported from japan it was an auto and looked a shade lighter then the green of the uk turbos??? may have just been the light though.

Darren

I will find it tonight and post a pic up when I find it.

Nope - was originally a UK Turbo, like mine. NM owns it, and has done a fair few mods to it. He's usually found in the Midlands section, arranging Meetings for us all.
