Default And The Winner Is...

I have made a decision now about the new wheel colour and it is Porsche orange as used on the 911 GT3 RS, not perhaps a mainstream choice but I hope it goes well with the WR blue.

Now let the flaming start...

I certainly think it will stand out from the crowd, and it will get the car noticed if nothing else.

I don't really care Mark to be honest, we all have are own choices and preferences. A lot of people aren't fussed on the fugly bugs but having owned one I can say that I like them, not everyone does but not everyone has good taste either.

I have had a look at other Impreza's with orange wheels but I haven't seen any with the same colour as these, but I am hoping for a good result.

Cheers Merv, they are in the hands of the master at the moment so I have no doubt they will be 100%.

They will take some getting used to but at least they won't be the same as anyone else's.

I'm liking that colour, it's similar to a colour Ray's do for their Gram Light range

Well it's funny you should mention that.





The colour does look darker and more red than it actually is in the above pic, it definitely looks like the first pic I posted.

It certainly will get the car noticed anyway and draw attention away from the driver.

A pretty 'bold' choice I know, but a good way to get noticed.

I hope so, I just hope it is not a little too daring and it looks totally out of place.
