Any of the colours you mention will look good as long as they are done well. I personally like the sound of the mauve purple. Why not put it to the vote and choose the most voted for colour?

I do have to say black is a good colour, althought it is a nightmare to keep clean.

Navy in a cab is my favourite! A bit obvious maybe but they're hard to beat

had same issue when painted mine but decided a colour change is a big job to do right, so stuck with diamond black met.
personally think white cabs look the best

Not cos of i've got one (
), but i'd say Macau Blue cos it flips from grey to blue to a sort of almost purple when you catch it at different angles and then at night it just looks like it's black!

Avus Blue or Imola Red.
If I EVER get round to doing another E30 project, Imola read it will be. It's such a nice shade.
