I am in quite a pleasant dilemma, I can't decide over the colour of my new STI. I think I'd prefer black, but I haven't seen any yet. Could anyone post some pics of a black STI? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Just been looking at a WR Blue Prodrive in Montys Sheffield. One word - 'superb'!

DJB

Disagree.

Definitely has to be blue black. There's pictures in the gallery section. I'll look them up.

Bugger to keep clean though!

Oh, you must be in so much pain

It's all personal opinion of course, but that said, I really think a) the blue-black is a wonderful colour and b) it suits the WRX/STi7 very well, more than any other color. Dunno why.

I have pics of the Prodrive style STI in black but I cant get the uploader to take the pictures.

If someone wants to host them I'll email them to you

I was in the same dileamor before last weekend, when I went for a Sti7 test drive. Luckily my dealer, Lancasters of Pangbourne, had WR Blue and Blue/black Prodrive Style versions in stock, so I could make a direct comparison.

In my opinion WR blue looks by far the better. The blue/black with a light film of dirt looks drab, whereas the WR blue just sparkles. Blue/black may look good when clean, but you will have to wash it every week to keep it looking good - note that my previous car was black. Another consideration is that any aftermarket body modifications are more likely to be available in WR blue. Needless to say, I have ordered WR blue.

Incidently, my dealer reckons that the Prodrive style version is also available in silver by speical order. However, you would probably have to wait to the end of the year for it.

Surely the first thing you'd do to the car would be to lower it by about 1 inch wouldn't it?

That's odd.. I noticed the sticker price on that car is.. 27,495 pounds.. which is equal to $75,120AU.. and yet.. the STi sells for $55kAU in Australia..

wonder why it costs so much more..

Do all the Black prodrive style come with the pink STI lettering at the front?

RB5SCOTT

In Hungary you can get one for as low(!) as 35 000 GBP (that is for the plain version)...

What should I say?

Well, gues what Sti costs in our car taxation hell, Finland?
50,630 pounds (83.000€) !!!

My WRX costs 37,900 pounds... unbelievable!

Our only comfort is that insurance is low bracause of low crime rate. I pay 300 pounds a year! Not comforting enough though
