I think you need to choose the colour yourself, considering the bottom of the car is going to be silver YOU need a colour that is going to best suit YOU and given the choice I would choose a modern colour that will no doubt be UNIQUE to a VL calais, because the most common colours back in '86-'88 were burgundy, blue, fawn (tan/gold) and white. so as I am aware YOU have a HARD choice to make.
Good luck! and I hope you like your choice.

p.s. purple is fine if urgay.

please dont spray it pink, its kind of queer and over used!

A nice glossy black or a dark orange is my pick.

Well in first place is a nice superman blue to match the bluey green interior but black is always nice or a light / dark grey.
Purple was on the cards but...

Pics anyone for reference
