Hello guys & gals, a bit of help needed here..

as some of you may know i'm in the early stages of a bike/xe engined rwd mini, but i need some help in choosing the paint scheme/colour...!!

I know what i'll be doing with a few bits on the car that influence the colour, these are....
Black wheels (low maintanence - i had gold superlites beofre - a buggar to clean)
A tan leather interior

i need some inspiration on lightish colours (i want a lightish colour as the muck will show up more easy, and i want to keep the car spotless) and either solid or mettallic/pearl colours (no wild flip-flop paints...!!), and something that will go well with the black wheels.

i thought about doing the gulf racing paint scheme, but there's about 3 mini's i've seen with this scheme, so thats a no-no.

i do love this colour, its called TVR Crystal topaz, so this is one choice!

also one of my big influences in the past years is the VW scene, i was into that before i knew what a mini was, an example of an extremely gorgegeous looking VW below......i wouldn't mind my mini looking this good......

I reckon that Old English White looks good.

What about pearl white, its something you just very rarely see and looks cool.
