Yeah Nightfire red is lovely (my mpi is Nightfire red) but it can vary dramatically as a friend of mine has an mpi in the same colour and both are W reg but his looks a lot more "richer" than mine

I guess it depends on what your car is like. Also have you asked about cost vs non metallic. My mpi is charcoal grey metallic (very dark) I love the look of it in the sun. My car isn't very period or anything so I think it suits it.
