Default series 1 red or white????????

i have me series 1 stripped to a rolling shell and all welded up and ready for painting, so was considering a change off colour to red. I have always said white is the only colour for a series1 and love the original look of the car but was thinking it will be a bit different and a little special in red, what do you all think cheers

What about Kawazaki green, with black S1 decals on voodoos.

Couple of red ones about and an orange, yellow, black etc, but can't remember seeing a bright green one.

Did consider this myself, with a zetec lump, chrome would really stand off green in the bay, black leather with green alacantra centres

Seen S1's with the ORIGINAL Grey and Red paint from factory

Mercury Grey certainly stood out, have a pic someplace, will dig it out Datapost Red S1's, but they differnet anyhow

Seen Mallard Green a couple of years back (Performance Ford feature) looked 'da nuts

Black, leave it to the lovely Princess Diana Original IMO, don't even go there!

Something subtle, but defo NOT Imperial Blue, no way on God's earth!!!

Mallard Green IMO, looks lush
