Hi All,

Although I have been visiting the forums for a while now, this is my first post ever so a big hi to you all. Seen some very nice motors on here too, congrats to all the new ST owners and I hope to follow suit very soon. I got a SportKa 1.6 SE in Imperial Blue which I'm keeping until June before I place my order for an ST. Eight weeks and counting......

Welcome to the site!

I can remember how slowly my eight weeks went, I hope yours go quicker than mine did! What spec are you looking at getting?

Cheers guys,

Yes I'm hoping the eight weeks go quickly, but that's only when I'll be placing the order mind. I just hope to God I won't be waiting long for delivery !!!!

I know roughly what spec I'm after, but it's the colour that's driving me nuts at the mo. Initially I thought an ST in Performance Blue, top and side stripes but I saw one in Colorado Red with top stripes in a dealer in Ellesmere Port. It was absolutely stunning and now I'm confused! Need to see a striped Performance Blue one in the flesh I think....

Well from ordering to delivery its taken 8 weeks for mine, i pick it up on friday and i am so excited i can hardly contain myself

i really liked the performance blue but since my current car, a citroen saxo (er, no giggling from the back there! ) is a dark blue so i really wanted a change of colour, so went for the red. But to be honest, from seeing the pics on this forum, you can't even wrong in any colour, even the white looks awesome, and most cars usually look pants in white but the the really stands out and looks amazing.

I saw a performance blue in stripes a few weeks ago on my way to work, and before then i was indifferent to the stripes, now i think they look really good, not sure if i would want them, but they do look good.

I know what you mean - my SportKa (yes I'm male ) is in Imperial blue and I love the colour but am also wondering whether to change. Decisions!

But I agree, the ST looks great in any colour. Won't get black though because it's a pain to keep clean although it does looks the nuts! White looks quality too.

Just hope all the waiting with the delivery kinda dies down by the time I come to order. Don't want to be waiting another 8 weeks for my after placing the order.........

Welcome to the forum.

Best thing to do, write down on different peices of paper colours, then put them into a bag and draw one out and stick to your decision!!!

They all look amazing and its really hard to decide but mine would have been white with blue stripes if Mr Insurance Man would have agreed with me
