Question Best body colour for STI's - Opinions Required!!!
I have previously owned a sonic blue '99MY Classic Turbo, currently have a blue/black STi 7 and may soon be in the market for either a late STi 8 or early STi 9.

On trying to pick what I think is the best looking colour, I am considering crystal grey if it's a STi 8 or black if it's an STi 9.

Thoughts and opinions appreciated please.....

Simon

Definitely white and heres a cracker for sale on Pistonheads there is also a couple of really smart Crystal Grey ones as well.Must admit though I would be tempted to go for an Evo8 in Gunmetal.

having had newage black, white and blue i would say white with prodrive pf7 in gold to be my favorite.

Although the black is gorgeous with the green and gold fleck that comes out in the sunshine.

I personally would just get the colour i prefer'd myself... afterall, its not us keyboard oracles that have to look at the car day in, day out.

Certain mods only work on certain colours, and ultimately you can make any Impreza look just as impressive to the majority regardless of colour.

It can't be a genuine STI unless it's blue with gold wheels?

Black, white or crystal grey

All look stunning IMO
