I always fancied a 6M1 car, but there aren't many.

I love Cosmos Blue now, looks so nice in the flesh, but also quite fancy Super Red and Caribbean Blue.

My personal favourite is steel mist grey I also like the aquamarine but that's probably because I've had one of each :thumleft:

I think good wood green looks nice but not a colour I would own just personal choice also like cosmos blue but same again

And steel Mist grey is IMO like black or white I fancy some colour restricted a little by interior colour scheme which is red/black which was the reason behind the super red as it will all go nicely were as I think the Caribbean blue although my favourite might not :(

I almost went yellow a few months back but really glad I didn't now

Keep it black and detail it. You can add all the colour you want it other areas then, using the many monies you've saved by changing the colour :wink:

Lol you just don't want me to change it from black do you lol I do love it just there is areas were it was machine polished that has burnt through the paint and lots of stone chips on the front few surface scratches that all hide very well with a full days cleaning and waxing but it's so bloody hard to keep on top of :(

Don't go anywhere near white then, it's hellish to keep clean.

Highly polished solid black is the one I'd go for (and did!) on curvy cars like the mr2.
