Right after the past couple of days with the boys down at central I have a bit of a dilema, what colour shoud i paint the series 1 cossy? White, moonstone blue, jewel violet, aubergine? Will have Rs7 Diamond cuts or Super turismos on it. What do you think lads?

Well I like white too but I am thinking about building another better one so it might be a good idea to make it another colour?

Defo not White. If you've seen 1 White one you've seen em all. Sure it looks good but very predictable and boring.
I'd go black or some completely unique colour.

Not be biased at all but black does look good..
However, if you were to go for white go for frozen white as diamond looks creamy compared to frozen

PS
I think all the colours you have suggested would look shite other than maybe moonstone as they are too modern, I thought about modern paint for my 3 door but having seen a couple in pearls or very metallic etc they just dont tend to suit.

I dont think that looks good at all TBH
I'd assume that was an xr3i if I saw it.

Defo not white as it's to predictable, Red really looks good. If it where mine i'd probably go for black, even though i've have 9 black cars and swore i'd never have another.
Jewel Violet and Aubergine are way to moden looking a dought i'd would suit an S1, The green one i've actually seen and have to say it's very sublte and looks amazing in the flesh. If your going for a metalic colour,What about Noveou Red (4x4 Saff cossie magenta) it's a lot nicer than the browner looking 2wd magenta ( ihave my XR2 Turbo this colour
) Dark metalic Navy Blue would look good.
Please dont do it white
