I did wonder what you were doing with this one.
I'd go dark fantasy or orange grove if you wanted to stay MG Rover. If you don't I'd go for a baby blue - Ford have "Grabber Blue" and I think Renault did a clio sport in a similar shade. Add black wheels/accents and it'd be something very special.
Anything but yellow .....
