colour change
been thinking about it last few days, as you know bumped the car and basically rear quater is going to need painted, but then the bootlids rippled needs resprayed, couple of minor dents on the other quarter before i got the car, odd dents on the door and the whole body kit needs resprayed...
so been thinking ,maybe just get a full respray and that will do it another 80,000 miles, but ws also thinking colour change....
been thinking a few colours, one that sprung to mind was a solid mint green, or powder blue, think it would look lovely but wasnt sure how it would sit with my interior
and another was a metalic chocolate brown? would look very subtle
only thing is as im so picky im going to have to strip the car bare if im going to do it so everything is the right colour
thoughts and opinions?

If it were me, I'd either spray it white (maybe with blue pearlescent) or that proper MG colour...Dark Fantasy...was deep red/black colour...Is an option I have in mind for next year when I get my mk2

That Dark Fantasy is amazing but probably really expensive paint.
White gets my vote, Really suits The touring car Ross has and I think would look just as good on the MK2.

I'd say White or dark fantasy but that would cost mega money!! I'd go of an Audi White. Would look really tidy!!

Tough choice mate. If money is an issue then just go for a freshen up in Silver.
If I were you - I'd go White ..... Then again powder blue would be good .... or even orange - Aaaargh ....

If you intend to keep it and are happy with the performance then why not, but if you might upgrade later on then I would spend wisely
