Default OT: Help me pick the new color for my car

Hey all,

As some of you might know, I'm in the process of fixing my 78 mini and I've decided to repaint it.

Couple of important things to note:

1) The interior is black with red stitching, which I plan on keeping the same
2) It will have certain chrome accents (ie. grill, bullet side mirrors, trunk hinges, bumpers, etc)





Above pics were prob taken a while ago.

Here's how it sits now






Here are my top choices

BMW Silver grey with black top (no stripes)
BMW silver grey with silver grey top (silver stripes)
Jet black with silver top (silver stripes) - like now.

With all my cars, I'd like to have a theme to work towards so this one is going for the "tough, sporty clean look" as it will have a bike rack on top.

Any suggestions/thoughts? Thanks

Point of reference and hoping not to skew anyone's opinions, here's how #1 will look






and how #2 will look



Edwin

Candy green, maybe a blue and white wave decal on the side. actually in all honesty, i really like that other grey metalic color you have. If anything, maybe a little darker

Love the mini. :thumup:
This is far and away from your original choices, but I think white with red stripes/top would be the sex. But I'm sure it will look awesome with whatever you choose.

Leave it, unless it really needs a repaint. Then in that case, the silver grey with silver stripes looks pretty damn sexay.
