Hmmm, tough call. Colibri green or blue pearl. Do one of each...
Seriously, I wonder what (not bass boat large, but sparkly) gold metallic
flake would look like with Colibri green? Maybe a few smaller blue flakes
thrown in to add complexity? (can you tell I just saw this at the track? It
was gorgeous) You don't even want to know what colour I'm lusting
after...(that's not it BTW)

1987 16V Factory Arctic blue metallic, now blue pearl over silver (the
headache)
1979 "non-S", Colibri green (Klaus)
