Default World rally blue ??

Guys just wonder how many shades off blue the 2005 wrx blobeye came in ?? as far as I can see the original bugeye was sold in mica blue and wrb ?? with the blobeye there appears to be wrb and a lighter blue ?? anyone able to advise me possibly even with a couple off sample pics off the difference between the two shades off blue as to be honest seeing a few cars for sale that are advertised as being wrb but dont appear to be !!!

Okay cheers guys nope the wr1 blue I know about, but is there not several shades off others blue colours on the blobeye ?? or are they all mainly in wrb just some look darker than others due to shine, age etc ??

So judging from the above this 2005 wrx would be aqua blue as opposed to the darker wrb ??

IIRC The Australian market got a reddish blue mica car but for JDM / UK / Europe the blobs were white, black, red, silver or WR Blue.

Not according to this chart above from what I am reading !! its deffinatly showing the 2005 uk + jdm import blobs as being available in both wrb and also aqua blue which certainly ties in from the ones I have seen on the road / internet.

you saying that all uk / jdm blobs in the blue colour are WRB ????

No you are right, Aqua Blue as well. Sometimes WR Blue can look lighter in photos ...

No probs mate thanks for the link to the brochures will save that !!! guess the link given earlier on is wrong then ?? still find it strange thou as again from 2005 blobs seen on the net there certainly appears to be more than just the wrb shade off blue and certainly not refering to the wr1 blue which is a totally different blue altogether !!!

Quote from ste brough above " No you are right, Aqua Blue as well "

you agrea with me mate ??
