    whats your favourite colour? Most colours look pretty good when done right. even pink... but i wouldn't own a pink car lol. a nice light blue like mine is good imo. red goes alright, purple looks awesome and ive seen seen some wicked green ones.. make your mind up before you do it though, dont wanna have to re spray it and spend all that money again. maybe check out some vls in SC mag as a reference. i reckon its all personal choice and go with what you like

    Looks ok. I wouldn't of paid 2500 though. I had a mint purple vl one of a kind colour. was a custom mix and looked awesome.
