Not a huge fan of white or red.

Going to see the paint man soon so will be discussing the options of stripes etc with him as well.

best way to choose a colour is to keep an eye out on the road/street

when you find the combo you want make a careful note of car type etc

Camilla is painted in Bentley/RR blue with red interior after spotting a bEntley softop with same colour scheme!
