Whats the best way to change the colour of my Scoob?

[randlemarcus]

Sell it and buy the colour you want?

Probably cheaper, and wont affect resale value. You could always do a dealer hunt, and negotiate hard.

Whats wrong with Aqua Blue, seriously rare if its a genuine Sti??

Im guessing its an import if not the WR1?

In terms of changing the colour, it really isnt worth the hastle. The car would need to be totaly stripped to do the job properly and anything short of the full works will show where you cut corners as the colours are so different.

A quality job will cost you thousands and you wont see anything but a fall in the value of your car.

Sorry mate

Photoshop - that way you won't lose any money when you come to sell it!

You could even change it to a wildly different colour.

Honestly, why would you want to change it?

What about a vinyl wrap? Or would that be too chavvy? You don't have to get a stupid design! Ask SJS Design for a quote, and have a look at the other car's he's done on the website:

Dont bother with a grey scooby they look dull and boring if you want a grey one go for a spec D no spolier etc.....

I am on the lookout for a Red MY04-05 STi.. They did not do RED STis in the Uk, but in japan they did and there are only 2 i know of in the UK and they are not for sale!!

I don't do red cars at all whatever they are but that's actually not bad for a scooby, and the fact it's a spec C just makes it even nicer

I fell in love with a red 05 WRX but couldnt find an insurance company that didnt want a kidney at the time, iv got a real soft spot for them now.
