Default Colour change ideas please on me mk2.....!

I've been offered a very good price on a complete respray on my XR2 (currently colour coded white), but am tempted to possibly paint her a different colour..... I've always wanted a colour coded white rally slag one, but after seeing a few nice ones in metallic colours floating about im tempted to change. Ill also be using it as me runabout and dont paricularly want it covered in rally livery vinyl anymore.

Can anyone suggest any colours to me?? I dont want no flippy colour change sh!t as it just wouldn't suit an old car, but all other ideas are good!

Heres the car in question....(doesnt have the VVanky bonnet anymore!




Cheers
Chris
