Default s2 colour opinions

my bonus is being rs kitted and having an rs lump put in it, hoping to have it sprayed next weekend.

at the moment its red, and cant decide what colour to have it, i was originaly going to keep it red, but then i found this on ebay

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1988-FORD-ESCO...QQcmdZViewItem

and now im stuck on wanting it that colour.

whats everyone think? or any other nice colour suggestions or pics would be great as i really cant decide and i only seem to be thinking of the usual colours.

dont want it white or black before anyone suggests that though.

quite a few nice ones there, especially the 10th one down that DANROM posted.

i'v always had a soft spot for red ones, which is why i wanted to keep mine red, but after seeing the imperial blue one on ebay im starting to have 2nd thoughts.

it definately wont be gold, black, white, orange, yellow, brown, burgandy, pink.

silver could also be an option though, i quite like that silver replica above, but theres already a guy a few miles away from me with a silver rep.
