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?

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.

If i was to change the colour i would get everything changed all over even under the bonet because that would do my head in

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:

I don't remember posting that pic ?...then again, there's alot of things I forget
I do remember seeing the pic before though & remember that it was a photoshop job, although a respray in this colour would look fantastic
