I will add them in if it's confirmed they will make their way to customers at some point.

After much thought I’ve changed my order from Pearl White to Magnetite Grey. It was a tough call to make with my white car having left the factory. But I’ve waited all this time so what’s another few months!

Magnetite looks awesome!After much thought I’ve changed my order from Pearl White to Magnetite Grey. It was a tough call to make with my white car having left the factory. But I’ve waited all this time so what’s another few months!
I would imagine that would be the case if his colour choice was unique and no-one else had order a white one, I guess someone will get a nice surprise as their car goes from "processing" to ready for delivery in the next couple of weeks.I thought you couldn’t change after the car had gone into build

I thought that might be the case and emailed them just as an enquiry. So was pleasantly surprised to hear it was still an option for me.
Hopefully it’s because someone else has a magnetic grey built and wants to change to white #wishfulthinking

You’re right! Just wished I’d realised sooner!!
I didn’t really consider any other colour than the Pearl White when I placed the order and was delighted to hear a dealer nearby had a white demo.
I liked it but didn’t love it and felt a wee bit underwhelmed which took me by surprise. Then around the same time @mackie posted the below pic which caught my attention and the rest is history

I feel your pain. I changed to Silver so it’s back of the queue for me too. Fingers crossed everyone with a silver order changes their mind so I get bumped up ha ha.

Many thanks @beorg , much appreciated
The colours available on the GR86 are the same in all markets, they have the same paint code, but for marketing purposes they may have different names. In the US the names are all different but the UK names are the same as those used by Subaru for the BRZ which is sold in the US market but not in Europe. The Free Of Charge , FOC, paint option also differs from country to country.
In the U.K. Metallic paint is £645 and Pearlescent £965. The only true Pearlescent paint (which contain mica to reflect light giving different colour effects ) is Pearl White. Both Electric Blue and Ignition Red AFAIK do not contain mica or metal flake and are in fact a “flat” or “solid” colour with a clear coat applied over the paint.
The U.K. 2022 launch colours are below , I hope this helps

I seem to have picked up a stone chip on the front splitter and it's messing with my OCD despite being barely visible! Are the paint codes above correct for the UK cars? Need to know the correct code for the sapphire blue so I can get a bit of touch-up paint, thanks in advance.
