peccy

whats type of blue is code 74F?, im sure its not Reddish Blue, heard a rumor it may be Rallye Blue?

ta, peccy (MY00 Turbo 2000 ? Blue ?)

catflap

Yeh i got a 74f

Its not the redish blue

Some call it rally blue, othres call it sonic blue, but it is a VERY similar colour to yhe rally cars.

If you need any help with it drop me a line

P.s 74f is the only colour to have a scoob hehehe kiddin

catflap

I have a MY99, and is defiantly a 74f, i know this for 2 reasons
1 i have looked at the plate inside the car engine bay
2 i had a spoiler painted in 74f, and it matches my car.

It is form begum (the car) but full uk spek

catflap

Kevs right about the rally car, its not 74f, but it is similar

74f is one of the closest to it though that ive seen, well I have a model of the rally car that was painted in teh actual colour of the real thing apparently (cost 50 notes, was a gift, madness 50 notes for a toy car, its still in its box, im afraid to open it for that price) , and it and my 74f are similar (what kev said about the rally car a shade darker is right, but quite similar)

I know the 01wrc is WRBLUE, how do i know this!

Cos i've got one of their spoilers and it matches perfectly

Catflap,
74f is Sonic Blue. It was only available in the UK on the 22B, P1 and Terzo. It was, however, available elsewhere. One of the benefits of imports is not being limited to the colours IM choose to import.

RB5Scott,
I spoke to Mike Wood at prodrive a while ago regarding the colours, as I needed to get some for a model. He suggested I get hold of some of the WR Blue as it is ALMOST identical to the naked eye, although it actually has a different code.

Josh

Its a pretty good match though

I just went and re-checked josh, and i do have a 74f, as i said its full uk spec, but did come form belgum ( or similet continat country)

But its 100% definate 74f, ill try upload a piccy soon, if i can figure it out

catflap

no makes perfect sense

And yep that’s me colour Nice in it

Best colour i have seen a road going scoob.

Hows yours for stone chips though? mine is dreadful? i looked on the pic and cant see any (difficult to tell on pic)

chrisp

Not too bad but the bottom picture was taken 2 hours and 20 miles after picking it up . I have only a few small ones but dont do much motorway miles so I guess it doesnt get hit too badly.

cheers

chris

PS Sonic is the best colour

Steve Terzo

74f on my Terzo.


Had a touch up made by Halfords the other day, and they matched 74f as New Rally Blue, if I remember.

I can check the paint code name tomorrow if anyones interested?

Steve.

**scrappy**

74f is new blue mica subaru part number j3617fa012 £7.44+vat
for a small t/up

catflap

How close does the touch up match????
subaru`s home one and teh one form halfords?

What do you ask for when at halfords?

Steve Terzo

Catflap,

I just went into Halfords and asked them to mix up Subaru 74f, they showed me their colour swatch, to make sure the general colour was the same.
They mix the paint up by weighing it(it has about 8 different colours in it!), so the process is pretty foolproof.
The colour match is spot on, and it costs £6.99 for 100ml.

Cheers
Steve.

albob

catflap,
the touch-up (subaru's) is much darker and is quite thick (difficult to apply properly). wouldn't recommend it
the halford's one sounds interesting tho'

Good, ill get me some of that

To answer Peccy's original question, in our colour book, it's called (Rally Blue / New 555 Blue P)
It's also called Sonic Blue, but that name isn't mentioned.
But as everyone has said, it's not the same as the WRC cars.

Sorry, the Rally cars are much darker than 'Sonic Blue 74F'.

Cars with 74F include: Terzo, 22B, P1 and some European imported cars

The 'New age' Impreza light blue is a different shade/paint code as well.

There was also '555 blue', a fairly dark blue, similar to the rally cars at the time.

The rally car paint is a special mix and has not been available on production cars as far as I'm aware.

Paint code is on the VIN plate on the passenger side suspension top under the bonnet.

This is Sonic Blue 74F

Catflap, it could be 74F and be Euro/UK spec because the colour was available in Europe. Like Josh said IM only offered the colour on specials and not as part of the range, where European dealers sold them as part of the normal range of colours.

[LOL does that make sense probably not ]
