Re: Chrome 97 grill in JDM market?

Laguna Blue as a colour was only available as an option in Japan for S3 cars. S3 cars sold from Nov '94 to July '95, and the market did not like them because they were "poverty spec" cars. Subaru quickly recognised that the S3 version was damaging their reputation, and rapidly introduced the S4 in '95.

The S4 cars had everything, and sold from July '95 till the model came off the market in '97. Only three colours were available;
  • Light Silver
  • Burgundy
  • Polo Green.
Hairy's car is a late '95 Burgundy.

To answer your question though, I think to retro-fit one of these chrome grilles on a Laguna, the effect would be excellent. It would look at least as good as a Polo Green, and probably look better. IMO.
