   Hi guys
   
   Ive got a mauritius blue VTR, and its being converted into a track car
   
   Im having the front grill, fuel cap and wheels all powdercoated gloss black...
   
   I need to decide a colour to have the Citroen Chevrons on the front badge, the towing eyes and mainly the roll cage?
   
   I want it too stand out obviously, but not over the top...Red would be my favourite so far but the cage will be very bold...Perhaps just do the cage black aswell?
   
   Any ideas?

   Haha! Deja Vu. I started almost exactly the same topic about 1-2 months ago! Lol.
   
   Black looks amazing if you want the smoked look. Or White looks good for a fresh look.
   
   Could always try something like Yellow/Lime Green/Orange If you want to be different though.

   Well its going to be raced, its a track car so its not really about styling, but I do love a bit of stealth..

   Well the if the car was black, It would be an easier choice as everything goes, but its dark blue!
   
   Ive had a look at a blue with red, and I dont like it! Perhaps ST orange?

    I would like the cage to stand out though, I originally thought silver, but thats a bit boring so I think Pink will do the job
    
    I was thinking orange, but that other saxo (in fast car) has an orange one
