I'm struggling to decide which colour to go for in an 05 WRX. I'm down to 2 colours WR Blue and Crystal Grey. What do you think I should go for?

Any pictures of crystal grey WRX's would be much appreciated as there aren't many on the road - something which appeals to me cos all I seem to see are WR Blue ones!

Cheers,

Daz.

I think you just answered your own question there. I like the blue but thats because I like the colour. Pick the colour for your reasons not anyone elses.

Pick what you like and what will sell in a couple of years.........

WR Blue
-Pro's = Beautiful, suits the car, polishes up well
-Cons = Common, can look dirty quickly

Crystal Grey
-Pro's = Stays clean looking, new colour hysteria
-Cons = Too close to silver, will never gleam like a dark colour, should have been more like RB5 colour

Black
Pro's = Fantastic when clean
Cons = Never clean

Red
Pro's = Rare
Cons = Solid not metallic/mica

White
Pro's = Back in fashion, stays clean (honest)
Cons = No deep gleaming shine like dark colurs, tar spots

Silver
Pro's = Stays clean
Cons = Boring, too similar to CGM, the shine again

All IMHO

My preference goes....

1. Black
2. White
3. Blue
4. C Grey

excellent point that, with a very few exceptions every coulour i have seen look fantastic on a scooby, therefore you dont have to worry about picking a wrongun, so choose what you want and stand back and be proud.

I did see a yellow one the other day though in classic shape, not sure about that though.

Just took delivery of my shiny new Crystal Grey Metallic WRX last Saturday!
I considered WR blue, but decided that there's already too many of them and I wanted something a bit different and classy - and I'm pleased with my choice!

Gave it a good Swissol sesh last Sunday and another coat of Samurai wax today and it looks FANTASTIC! Wish I'd taken a couple of pics to post on here after I'd finished polishing this afternoon.

It's down to personal preference - but I think Crystal Grey is great! It even matches the alloys perfectly!

Nice site.

I do think my White JDM Bugeye Wagon looks superb when clean - nothing better. And tar spots are soon gone with Meguiers Clay

I have to say it also looks great covered in mud.........

Blue is the way to go, polishes up real nice and just looks lovely.

The grey looks like street furniture grey IMHO.

In my opinon go WR Blue as although you are in between colours to choose now, if you get the grey/silver or whatever, whenever you see a blue you will regret it! they look the best and stand out a mile away compared to normal everyday car colours that you wouldnt look twice at driving past! Willsy

Thank's for the responses people, I'm still undecided though? Like a lot have said I need to make the decision myself, but it helps when you get others views on the matter. I'm leaning more towards the WR Blue simply because I think when I come to sell it there will be more of a market for the colour? on the other hand if there's more Blue ones about it might make it less exclusive?.......... argghhh tieing myself in knots again.

OK Blue, no Grey, no Blue, Blue, Grey, Blue?

Cheers,

Here's mine in Crystal Grey - believe me it looks much better in the flesh than in photos'.
Quite different to the Silver I think , more classier and has almost a bronze tint to it.
As with the Silver though I personally don't like it with the gold wheels, much better with Silver or Anthracite imo..

Crystal Grey is a really nice colour in the flesh.. much prefer it to WR Blue.

Thanks for the crystal grey pics, although I was leaning towards WR Blue before you posted them!!! The problem is I think the crystal grey STi version or slightly modded WRX i.e with anthracite OZ wheels looks good, but on a standard WRX I think it does look a little bland? not so much from the front but from the rear. It is one of those colours that makes it look a bit meaner though and I do prefer anthracite wheels to gold!

This is too difficult, see I've never bought a new motor before I think I'm begining to understand why!

Cheers,

Daz

tbh mate at the end of the day it's down to everybodys personal preference.
You can't go much wrong with whatever colour you choose as people have said and I think corradoboy has summed up perfectly the pros and cons for each.

I love the blue - I saw Dusti's motor yesterday and it looked fantastic...

Well you could compromise and go for Aqua Blue
