I actually interested, so I'll get my flame suit on if I have to.

If you import a silver 203, and put your STI plates on it, that is in between grey lines imho, you probably would get away with it, as it's still identifiable as a Silver 200x STi, so long as the MY matches up.
Changing the colour doesn't make it unroadworthy perse`, it's just s system/compliance thing. It's registered as a certain colour, and if it's changed it has to be updated.
Worth the risk if you want to avoid a yellow?
Just how i understand it. I think there was actually a percentage on it, so if 70% of the car is a certain colour, that is what it's registered as. You could probably find it in detail somewhere.
Had a quick look, described as a 'Primary/Main', and 'Secondary'.
