Guys, as I'm getting a new STi next year, can those who have'em post up pics of their cars as at the moment, I fancy the WR Blue but would like to see what the other colours look like. Ta!

Had a look at an 05 in Crystal Grey a couple of days ago. Looked very nice (gold wheels don't suit though). Put on the 18" Prodrive PFFs in titanium and it will look great.

I face the same sort of decision myself next year.

I see Neil's found my pics of the crystal grey metallic car:
Personally I was hoping that the colour would be darker like the RB5, it was just a bit too similar to the silver that's been available for a while. So, instead I went for black:

Andy (slightly off topic) - how are you finding the new Brigdestone tyres? I couldn't believe it when I saw them in the showroom - they look like cut slicks!
Nice car BTW - always liked Scoobs in black (not that I'm biased
), but I did fancy going for something different next time and seeing that the world and his dog has WR Blue, I thought maybe grey or silver.

The crystal grey looks good but as someone said in the topic the colour is to similiar to the silver metallic. If they had done a titanium finnish it would have been great :-)
I bought a black one. The only thing I can say about Subarus paintjob is that itīs not as good as a European car. Some Subaru drivers in Sweden got their cars repainted because of their complaints to Subaru Sweden.

Chris: Suffice to say I won't be replacing them with the same tyre when they're worn out.
Pros: exceptionally sharp turn-in, seems to have plenty of grip in the dry.
Cons: car becomes very fidgety in the wet. Sidewalls are very stiff which makes for a poor ride over bumpy surfaces. Tramlining is awful. Lots of road noise.
No surprises really, it's a no-compromise tyre designed to give the best possible handling on a smooth, dry road - but although it would be ideal for track use I'd rather have a more conventional tyre for the road.

The only minus i can find is the road noise in the car. Much louder than the 04 Sti.
