I wouldn't go for Flip, or flake
Go for an unusal colour like something the BMW M3 uses or the VAG limited edition colours

I would get brochures from manufactures
VAG group did some really nice limited edition colours for their cars such as kingsfisher blue, Imola yellow, etc

agree with 306 corsa and gav s on this one. n300st looks immaculate. cant go wrong with black as long you're ready and willing for many hours out there bathing the bastard!
