White everytime for me, by far the best colour for a Impreza of any model.

Classic does look good in dark grey which is my second choice.

i cant actually believe how many people have said white , i am really shocked.

thought more people would have been saying to go for something different,ie not seen much on an impreza.

quite like the idea of a grey one.



but i think i would go for BMW steel grey.

and i do like this one,unsure of colour but looks similar to bluegrass,and also looks similar to kirsties cossie blue.



its so difficult cuz pics can be so deceiving .

i do like white cars but they look a bit gash with black wheels imo and white on white wheels is 50/50.
would go for arctic white of the focus rs.

ahhh i dont know what to choose .

ok so it stands at white is in the lead,then blue,then grey.

come on ppl put some pics up so i can see a variation plz

i am thinkin grey will offset c/f nicely at a later date,and white wheels should look ok.if not theres always black which should give it an agressive look.

white looks nice when clean in the sun but not sure yet.

couldnt do the subaru blue,its too common although id consider some nice blue paints.

there are far too many colours,its so difficult.
