Hey mate,
Why not go for Subaru 47A - Black Mica Pearl.
It's black with a red & gold pearl in it - looks wicked - well I would say that as thats the colour of the Foz.

Halfrauds or Autopanels will mix a rattle can for you.

if you scrape one of the wheels you have to respray them all or you'll have different colours....
