Hmmm nice colour but not sure it would suit the firenza. If i were to go for a new colour it would be something like bmw silver grey, as found on e46 m3 csl. That colour with the chrome would look stunning, in my opinion.

Reckon it would look lovely in the BMW colour for what it's worth. Nicely retro with a modern twist. Look forward to seeing how it turns out. My dad had a Viva when I was a kid, so the Firenza is pretty much the only Vauxhall I've got a soft spot for!

Now you've mentioned Vivas Dan, didn't Vauxhall do a Viva in a similar colour to the BMW one Martin's proposing?
