Hi from Stevenage

Hi,

After forty years of driving other things I've just got my first Subaru. It's a 2007 Outback 3.0 with just over 100k on the clock. First impressions are great - really impressed with the way it handles (and the "Go Faster" button on the steering wheel). I hope to be able to contribute to the forums once I know a bit more about the car but I'll start with a question. 

What colour is it? It looks silvery but says Grey on the V5. I can't find a paint code anywhere on it. There are a lot of minor dings/scratches that need sorting out so I want to get the correct colour. Have added a picture if it helps.

Many thanks,

Richard

Welcome to the club,

Hope this helps with the paint code 👍

Thanks. It looks as though that label is missing from my car. I can see where it should be on the strut tops but there's nothing there (or on the doors). I wonder if Subaru could tell from the VIN.

No problem buddy i would think subaru should be able to tell you with the vin also think a bodyshop should be able to match the paint with the vin aswell

hi + welcome from another newish 07 O/B owner (near St albans)...(had mine since August) yet to see another locally, you may be the 1st !!

according to the 2007 uk spec brochure there were only 5 colours available ..(.the others in the link ^^ must have been options ? or overseas spec.)

urban grey metallic--brilliant silver metallic--newport blue pearl--champagne gold opal--obsidian black pearl

 

[Aldeburgh]

Thanks, based on that it looks like it may well be Urban Grey. Nice to know there's at least one more around locally. 

[Aldeburgh]

Kudos to Subaru - they've come back already with the colour and it's Steel Silver Metallic which isn't one of those mentioned in the brochure.
