Default STI Crystal Grey thoughts?

Hi guys,

Well just want your opinion on the crystal grey sti's, My mates got a mint one with low milage. I originally wanted a blue one however after searching and searching I realised there hard to find with the spec I want.

So what do you think of the crystal grey ones? should I go for it?

Thanks

Awww do you have to. It makes me feel less unique
Mate, I had a WR blue bug.
Got a lot of compliments on the car, but also got a lot of unwelcome attention on the road from ******** and chavs.

Crystal grey is the best of both worlds - more understated (well - as much as a Scoob can be lol) yet still mad when you want it to be

My one came with silver ones - actually looks pretty sweet in that colour too.
They're nice wheels as standard tbh - believe Enkei make them.

Blue decent ones with low mileage on are hard to find. Find me a good blue 54+ with widetrack and ppp with mileage around 40,000. Below 9k = impossible ha

Here's my Spec D. Crystal Grey also reacts a bit in the sunlight, and can look very slighly goldy in a way. (not shown in pics) but in the summer when the sun is setting....it does change colour slightly.

Incase you need any encouragement, some pics of mine






It's an awesome colour, photographs rarely do it justice.

I used to have one of these too with a PPP kit and ran it for nearly 60k.

Was quite a motor I absolutely loved it but was a better car 90% of the time once I got those RE070s off!

My Cosworth is Silver too. Great for blending in with the traffic and avoiding unwanted attention in car parks.

No, but if you're suggesting they've been re-painted I think you'll find they were available in other colour options
They're far too grimy to have been refurb'd

It has a few pin dents in the bonnet and a bit of road rash on the front that I want to have tidied up, but as I'm getting married next year, it'll probably have to wait until 2014!

I agree, I love my silver Hawk

I originally wanted a Crystal Grey one but thought it looked darker in real life than on the photos. I thought against the blue interior and gold wheels it looked a bit wrong.

It's one of the best colours out there along with urban grey, so much so If I keep the hatch and get a forged build I'm considering a respray in either of the two crystal or urban grey with a touch of carbon fibre I think it would look brilliant
