Scorpio Colour Change?

Hi all Right, if you could have a scorpio in any colour what would it be? My scorpio needs the roof respraying but i am tempted to just get the whole car done (as soon as i can afford it )as it will go to cars shows. I can imagine mine standard but in ford radiant red, with a facelift and red under bonnet details. So what colours do you think would suit? Dan

Personally I would always stick to the colour the car was originally painted in. Nothing worse than seeing a nice exterior colour then looking inside to see a different match.

Not suggesting this, but thought you might be interested. I drive past Drift Bridge garage quite often, they’ve had a VW on the forecourt that looks surprisingly good (not that I’ve stopped for a close look). It looks a bit like polished & lacquered aluminium but turns out it’s chrome film: http://www.driftbridge.co.uk/volkswagen/offers/new-car-offers/vw-golf-ch romed

A car the size of the scorpio id say couple grand minimum. Add more if your paint is some fancy color changing stuff like the nightshade color
