About to order the STi Prodrive.
Have a Terzo at the moment so initially was going for the WR Blue...however having seen the Black/blue colour in my view it makes the car look positively 'different' ...so 2 questions
Those with Black/blue is it a pain to live with...does the muck show up easily and Q2 what is your preference (I think that Q may have been on here before but with the search engine down cannot find it)

My 01WRX is black/blue. Does show any mark - can look like different colour in strong sunlight or close up, which is fun. I think it's definitely the colour to have, but i would say that, wouldn't I.

ps Got ten pounds off insurance too. (wow!)

Anyone know how to edit your own text?

I saw both at a track day and the 'black' one looked like the dogs b*llocks!

Definitely the 'black' one for me, but then it depends on whether you are a Scooby purist or not!!

It does show up dirt quite quickly, I am going to have some mudflaps fitted, IMHO makes the car look a little more out of the ordinary, is it a pain........ no not really.

You need to go over 15 posts in order to get regular status.

Mistertoad there is a symbol which is basically a scroll with a pen on it, at the top of ech of your posts.

Hover your mouse over it and it will say *edit* use that to edit your post

Back to the question of colour, go with the colour that you loke the most

MichelleWRX1994

Does this work?



If so, that is what you are looking for

Definately blue.

WREXY

Everytime this question came up I always said WR Blue. After seeing the shine on the blue black ones, I think I'd go for blue black now. They shine a fair bit more than the WR blue. They have that mirror finish.

Cheers,

Wrexy.

Yea having seen the 2 my own view is that the Blue makes the car look a bit'cheap' whilst the Black has a more 'mean classier and stylish look.

Steve A

Though on resale I guess the Blue may be easier to shift

WR Blue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WR Blue definitely - I am thinking of ordering an STi soon as well; where are you getting yours from Steve A ?

Yorkie

WR Blue, unless you like cleaning your car. Blue black will need lots of attention to look good. Colleague has a black car and when he's cleaned it, it looks the top. When he's left it for a few weeks it looks dreadful. Dust shows up within a few miles of driving too

WR Blue definately.

Scooby Dooby Blue

I'd agree with the above posts.
The "black" looks tip top when it's clean and polished and suits the various headlamp conversions better IMO.
I have a WR Blue MY01 and even when it's mankie it looks clean (if you know what i mean) and i therefore don't wash the car as often as i should. It's the wheels that dictate when the car gets a clean.
So if you're gonna neglect your scoob, WR is the colour of choice but for the Wax Wizards out there, go for the black. I know i will for my next scoob

Blaster...well was having the test drive from Cheam Motors so I guess it depends how much they say as a price to change from the Terzo

scub

IMHO opinion it has to be Blue/Black, large majority of scoob's I see are Mica Blue, making them way to common.

Mind you I'm a bit biased as I'm just waiting to sign the order on my first scoob, Blue/Black, Anthracite Prodrive 7 Alloys, and the Morette Headlamp conversion, can't wait to get behind the wheel, it shoul look the puppies plums.

If it does need that extra care and attention cleaning it so what if you take pride in the car you have to keep her clean

Baby Blue

WRB seems a bit common & "boy racer" to me but v. nice all the same. Thieves would especially like to get theer hands on the WRB.

Saw a Blue/Black the other day - well smart and a little different!

End of the day it's personal choice.

WRB my preference

Did anyone like me waste £299 on the Subaru dealership Polishing/ Scotch guarding and wheel protection stuff

I reckon a better investment is to ask the Wax Wizard for a same type job for a lot less kelt and better job IMHO

I like both colours, but if it was down to me I would go for silver

scub

can we hazard a guess at what colour yours is then chelle

STI PRODRIVE FAN

WR blue is nice as i have one. But its all down to personal choice aint it.





The black is a nice but if you live in the sticks like me, then the black will be a serious problem to maintain ie Dark Mica Scratchy blue was also a nightmare.

Anyway dont worry about the colour just get the car and the colour issue will just seem trivial in comparison to the fun you have inside the car LOL.
