Ok

I've about 85% made up my mind to get one... But which colour
Blue or Black?

Tempted by black because it's rarer, but then it's a pig to keep clean and shows every scratch and stonechip

OR

Blue, which everyone will get, but it is easier to live with...

Black, every other one your going to see will be in blue so even though its a pig to keep clean when it is clean its going to look better than all the blue ones

Tony (ok wheres my black one!)

I prefer White

But in WR blue vs. black I would take WR Blue, no question about it.

Much more practical because it´s a full job to keep a black car clean.

Can't get white or silver in the prodrive version

So far it's about a 50/50 split

I've never seen a proper picture of a black one and I am in the sam dilemma. Could anyone post a black STI (if possible Prodrive) ?

Thanks Matt

I agree with David. It certainly isn't a car to have if you want to blend in

Black requires an awful lot of cleaning, just ask Chris...

The main issue with BLACK is that all the add on exterior parts you buy from the shops are WR Blue - so you end up paying to get it re-sprayed in black.

I personally hate WR Blue - its so 3 series BMW and dull i'd go with the black!!

WR blue is too common now(no offence) but the blue black does'nt look quite right when the light hits it(have a "classic" STi in black mica myself and it spends half the year looking like ****e)
Order a non prodrive in white or silver and then add on the extra bits yourself.
