aaaaarrrrhhhh so many nice colours 
Candy apple red is like what originally had in mind i think it would look good.
The foucs rs blue would be nice too.
Some of the lads from passionford are going to do a photoshop of my car in Jewel Violet too so we will see how it turns out

Right, so i asked one of the lads from passionford.com if they could do a photoshop of my car in red. He said he isnt happy withhow it has turned out and its not the exact colour i want but it give me a idea of what to expect. I admit as it is, it dosnt look great, but in the right red and with the facelift kit, with rs7's i think it will be great. And im quite happy with it

Be careful with a flat red colour....it can fade & turn pink if not looked after

I'm really not sure that bright red suits the lines of the Scorpio - its a large executive cruiser, not a hot hatch.
I think a more subtle colour suits a big car better.
Consider your colour choice carefully in case you ever come to sell the car - some colours will really put people off and make it difficult to sell.
Some colours look great on certain cars and dreadful on others...personal choice I guess but 1 thing to bear in mind Dan, red cars cost more to insure according to an old Swinton TV ad

Thanks mate for some reason the prefacelift rear lights turned orange but i think they look good there, i wonder if that would be possible? Facelift lights with the chrome strip? Looks good with the orange/copper colour

The idea of the red came from a mk3 granada i seen. It was at the all granadas together in 2007, sieries 1 so it had the orage indicator lenses, it was a sort of red/orange (more red) and it looked fantastic. Thats why i wanted it with the face lift lights But i do agree there are only certain colours that will work.

My opinion only.....................All 'Tarts-Knickers'! Go for an easy colour, like Blue/Black/White........The only diverse I would consider is BRG. But a Scorpio is a 'Gentlemans-Carriage' not a Focus-RS. You'd never sell the car in that Red or Bronze colour, not for the price you'd think it is worth anyways.

PJ I would never sell my car It will be going to the shows so i want it to stand out, be nothing like any of the others (not that theres many). Somthing different, one to make people take note. If they like it or not, it got their attention . If they dislike it fine they dont have to see it again, if they do like it thats great
The scorpio is a gentlemans carriage BUT by making it a differnet colour, they will (hopefully) get a new kind of admirer. Even if one person who dislikes them changes their mind its worth it to me.
Saying that i have always fancied a white one, and under the bonnet is white anyway so less of a job Got me thinking again
