I really like the platinum silver color of my WRX, the problem is that 90% of the WRX's i see on the road are silver and i'm sick of it. So i was thinking about changing the color. This is what i have so far.

Gun Metal Grey

Burnt Orange

White with a Blue Pearl

Thats really all i've thought of so far. Any suggestions.

I saw a BMW the other day that I loved, I can't find the color of the BMW website, But it was a very light semi-metallic Blue. It was very light blue it was beautiful!

It is simliar to Mini Electric Blue but it was lighter and more metallic I'll search some more later for it.

If you're a fan of the silver, but want something a little different, look into the gunmetallic color the imprezas come in in Europe. I don't remember specifically what it's called (Silverthorne or something), but it's very much like the gunmetal color the Audi TT's come in IIRC. I've seen some pictures of GC8 WRX's in that color, and they make my pants tight! :shock:

Steel grey metallic.

Can't tell I dig the color or anything

Anyother color just crossed my mind what about a british racing green.

I'd stick with a genuine Subaru color, just for pseudo-authenticity. If you look around there's pretty much been a Subaru in every color imaginable, except for something outlandish. In fact, if you like green, talk to Kostamojen... his L is green, and very close to a Britich Racing green... I think it's Hunter-Green or something... (I'm terrible at remembering the color names... sybir prolly knows.
