i was thinking what colours would be good for a mk2 to be show car nothn over the top ,not any stupid body kits on it ,its going to be clean cut oem style but i want it to stand out ,
not sure on what colour im picking yet trying to decide,
im only collecting bits for it at this stage,

maybe a nice shade of shiny blue or red ,will have all the black trim g60 archs,gti door molds,gti skirts,single light debagged grill none colour coded,big bumper kit,mk3 style handle,smoothed body work and none colour coded american boot tub, lowered,borbet a types or a set of bbs's ,

any ideas ??

thanks

best way to pick a colour is to pick 2 colours you like, green/blue/red/yellow/grey etc ignoring shades and such.
then go through the shades of your chosen colour until you find one you like.

makes things way easier then sifting through thousands of colour swatches

Hands down the best colour is Mica Red Pearl

Mica Red Pearl is a beautiful colour, but everything else on the car has to be equally perfect for it to pull it off in my opinion.

Lp5u. has to be the best of them
