Darker cars are the best, black, blue, naples, green.
Reckon you got yourself the best colour, in a few years time when people will be looking to buy a second hand one they will pay more for a rarer black one than an every day silver one.
Try finding a nice black 16v these days for sale - rare opportunity that I unfortunatly didnt have when I bought my blue one.
Far too many silver cars about - not just 172/182 but all cars.
Its become the fashion now to have silver cars - to me it looks like they havent been painted!!
(No offence to any silver car owners - each to their own!)
