Black look's best when clean.BUT is a twat to keep clean.So if your not gonna keep it clean or dont care.Paint it white.It a lot easier to make it look good.

i'd personally keep it the original colour, it will be more difficult to sell on at a later time (should you ever sell it that is) if its different from the log book imo.
But if you want me to choose then white with esc cos rims

Aye Aye Cubby! White with Black Compomotive Mo's looks da'bomb imo.

Toff is in the process of doing this with his at the moment and it looks 1 bad ass mother.

The wheels were a doddle, mind you I have avo coilovers on the car now so have a bit more inner clearance. But with the coilovers the wheels were easy! the problem was when I put the BIG Brakes on, 380mm with 6 Pots, the wheel has to be spaced out and that means a biut of trimming arch not much though!!

The car is now 4x4 as well with RS500 parts under bonnet and carbon bonnet etc! Should be smart when I finish it as it is still ongoing!

Thats OK each to their own! I have built it around my vision of a 3 Dr, The grip of a 4x4 with lets face it the drop dead looks of an RS500.

It does look a very tough car would like to see some better pics of it though

I will try and take more pics the next time I have it out of the garage!

Got to agree with your 1st point mate and would like to see some more pics of it!
I suspect it looks very similar to mine but with different wheels as the spec sounds very familier
