hey guys,

FINALLY, in march, i can afford the insurance for my first scooby due to my age although it will be a hatchback 1.5r

I will be planning on tinting the back windows, adding a turbo hood, front grills, some nice black thin spoke o.z alloys and a nice big wing, maybe the varis style wing but im unsure on if i should get a black or silver impreza?

The silver will show the black wheels, turbo scoop, windows, grills and spoiler better in the day time, however, i do alot of driving at night so a fully blacked out scooby would be nice and as my brother says, it will make people think 'what the hell is the sweet thing'

Whats your ideas? thoughts? past experiences? any comments are appreciated and also let me know why you think what you do

Cheers,

Black every time especially for re sale.

is a black car better to sell?

Thanks for the input

any colour saloon, hatch looks poo

Law of odds i guess, majority of buyers would go for a dark colour mainly black. Silver is easy to keep clean though!

unfortunatly i cant get a saloon, insurance is too high (im only 18 in october) and the fact im doing at least 30 miles to work and back a day, a 2.0L will drain with me with petrol cost

so any thoughts on this? black? silver? which will look nicer?

Cheers

If you do all the mods to the car you will need to declare this on your insurance even though they are not performance enhancing..this will most likely raise your premium! Best to check with the insurance company before you do them. As far as the colour goes...black would be my choice but it shows marks really easily

Mica green with gold wheels



Like black hard to keep clean but stunning when it's polished up

My first scooby was green ~ loved it.

The OP is looking at an 08+ 1.5R I think.

I'm with you on that one

grievsa93

indeed i am Rheid, thanks for reading the first post :P

The only colours easily available for 1.5r is black, silver and newport blue, so really my two decent options are black or silver

ps, i would never go white, sick of the site of a white car and black alloys... so predictable and common
