Hi looking for opinions.

Ive got a MY96 white sti wagon and looking at getting it repainted as a few spots need to be done my question is should i keep it white or get it repainted black which is what the girlfriend thinks would look better.

My personal choice is white but what do others think.

Also does anybody know how many white classic sti wagons there are left in uk and black ones?

Keep it white no doubt, you could change the shade if you fancy it but a fresh coat of white will transform it. A full colour change is a huge job, engine out to do it properly.
Plus, everybody knows white is the fastest colour !!!

White fella as its too much hassle for colour change as matty says, plus there's loads of black ones about, a clean white one will aid the sale better when comes to selling.

Would keep white and blow over a pearl

White gets my vote, maybe a BMW "arctic white" has a very slight touch of blue to it.

I've never done it, but what about getting the car vinyl
Wrapped in white, would that be any good and is it expensive to do or not worth it?

White (not surprising given my own car. ).

Best colour for a Classic IMO.


Not keen on black Imprezas. Plus black shows a multitude of sins e.g. shallow layers of dust/dirt, scratches etc.

Got to be white, black cars hide all the detail

Once you go black, you'll never want to go back!

Keep it white

Maybe go for a proper bright white, like the Ford Frozen or Arctic white (not sure what it's called). Makes most other white cars look cream in colour.

Yeah, it sure is a super bright white.

If ever I were to spray a car white, it would defo be the Focus RS's one, too.

Keep it oem mate, white is a very jdm colour

It's their historical national racing colour.

That's why you hardly ever see a white JDM Pulsar GTIR grey import - just a proliferation of black 'off loaded' jobs.


(Ironically, there's a white one for sale on eBay at the mo.)
