    its a toss up between bmw csl grey and burgundy. thats my brothers car in the pic. that color looks so good in the flesh. but as you said silver ones are fairly rare and csl grey would look good[8D]

    heres a pic i got just before it started to rain. maybey you can see why i love this color. its so easy to get a really deep shine something silver, red or yellow can never do to the same extent.

    this will give you a quick idea of the direction i want to go bodywork and wheel wise.

    Sandard Satin Silver as on the later cars. Its got a purply sometimes gold hue to it under certain lights it is noticable shiney when polished. Best colour Ive had on a car by far. To many dark colours along with brown etc now.

    do you mean reflex silver like on the mk4 golf. thats the color of my brothers mk4 golf gti. have to admit it is a nice color. its got a bit more life than most of the other plain dead silvers.

    My old Rado was Dark Burgandy Pearl and i agree it is a nice colour, but does look very dull if the sun isn't shining.

    On the yellow with a pearl in it front, there is an MGTF near me in this colour and it does look really smart. The colur not the car you understand!

    i was never a fan of yellow and i dont think it looks nice on a corrado. i think darker colors suit the car better. i was told by a designer to stick with a dark color because anything else will look terrible. dark blue looks very nice but it is over used. if i could get some ideas of nice dark colors or maybe a nice silver or grey.
