I would say keep it the way it is. Its unique and will be rare in its stock color someday.

Try a custom red, the yellow is rare yes but red would be even more so!

I think you should paint it Hot Pink and put green and purple polka dots all over it. In the center of every polka dot you can put a little smiley face. The polka dots can have little flames coming out of them towards the front, but the flames should fade out by the time you get to the back.

Oh wait, no. You should keep it stock. It's a fine color.

nah, don't paint your car yet. Get some black wheels and a nice drop and it'll look great. But if you did paint it, go with Championship white; that's what I was thinking of doing later on down the line.

BTW, What's the color code for champ white?

On my friends champion ship white ITR the color code it prints on the inside of the door read N-0 Im assuming its like a flat white.

My white Ep read NXXX<---I forgot the numbers but its on the door jam. It reads it where it says manufactured in UK. or something.

That pic looks bad ass!!

check the photoshop forum. It was posted there. I don't think it's actually owned by anyone here. It was a pic of a buddy club kit. It started out red I think, then went to blue, then I change it to silver and then that hyper black

I don't like the Euro Yello very much at all, but I have to admit, they are extremely rare. Personally I'd paint it Monte Carlo Blue, OE Honda color on S2000's in Japan and Europe.

Red, red, red! I wish they would have offered the SI in red here in the states. My 91SI is red, I like red.:D

Ooh, never though of British Racing Green. I've thought that, if I had to, I would get mine done in a really loud yellow, but BRG might be pretty cool. And yes, that would reflect on its British heritage.

Quick, rough photochop (wish I knew how to preserve the "shininess"):

Candy Apple Red with a touch of black to darken it ---- thats what I want to do someday to mine...

i dunno...but to me...the gunmetal color still is the best(clean) color for small cars...gives it an aggressive appearance.

Two Words: Autumn Orange. Yes, it is a FoMoCo. color, but it'd look killer on an EP... genuinely changes color in light (though not in the same manner as a HoK Kameleon paint), appearing anywhere from burgundy to amber to burnt sienna and in between. I had a Ranger *cough cough* in that color, and once I finally get the funds together for a Caterham Seven, it's going to be bare metal silver and Autumn Orange.

:cool:
