For us painting STi spoilers to fit 2006 WRX models, Black closely followed by WR Blue has been the most popular.
Both far out numbering white / grey / silver.

Aqua blue, Bright red and Regal blue pearl aren't available for the STi in the UK.

I thought the STI only came in 5 colours (silver seems to be the forgotten colour - never gets a mention)

Black looks good when clean but never stays clean for long.
White sorry not a fan of white cars.
Wr Blue looks great and is the colour for any rallying fan.
Crystal grey also looks good.
but when making my decision about my new car, selling my Wr Blue 02 STI so i want a change in colour as everyone seems to have Blue so Blue is out. At BRC Live i saw 3 or 4 Crystal Grey, so to be a bit different i have ordered Premium Silver Metallic.

I'm on the look out for a JDM STI and keep changing my mind about the colour, was going to stick with Blue but as mentioned it is probably the most common colour, black looks the best once it's clean but its cleaning it which is the prob (and promised myself I wouldn't get another black car as I currently have a black Civic Type R and know how hard a job it is) and silver....hmmm not too sure had a silver Scoob before so nice to have summat different.

Decisions.......decisions

I voted for the blue because I'm behind the times and still like that colour. I then saw the black, can somebody please change my vote!

Not keen on the orange one, that colour looks better on a Focus or a Holden.

WR Blue to common now. I really like the Crystal Grey on my 05 STI but prefer the white on the 06.

so black it is then, a small price to pay really, both of us happy!!
That all sounds very familiar! I went for the black partly due to this reason but also because the black looks mean (when clean) and a little bit 'mad max' and isn't as much of a **** car as the WR Blue!

I don';t know if anyones said this before, but it's a tw@t to keep clean!

A nice dark grey would be good.
