Models that came in Feather White

We believe these offered it too, but haven’t confirmed it yet:

Other Subaru models outside our model library used 230 too.

Has a 230 car been resprayed?

  1. Find the model plate and read the code. On the model plate in the engine bay, usually on the bulkhead or a strut top, next to COLOR or C/T. If it says 230, the car left the factory in Feather White.
  2. Check the V5C. For Feather White it should say WHITE or CREAM. Add the paint code to our free check and we’ll compare it with the DVLA record for you.
  3. Check the auction sheet. It should describe the car as white and usually prints the code. A sheet that says one colour with a code for another means the car was painted before it was sold in Japan. Our auction sheet translator flags that.
  4. Look for the old colour where a respray rarely reaches: the engine bay, door shuts, inside the boot lid and fuel flap, and under rubber seals.

Questions

What colour is Subaru paint code 230?

230 is Feather White (フェザーホワイト), a white paint.

What colour should the V5C say for a car in 230?

The DVLA records a basic colour, not the paint name, so a car still in its factory Feather White should be registered as WHITE or CREAM. Anything else suggests it has been painted a new colour, and the keeper should have told the DVLA.

Which models came in Feather White?

We believe the Subaru Impreza WRX GC (GC8) also offered it, but haven’t confirmed that yet. Other Subaru models outside our model library used it too.
