Cheers for the replies guys must say looks spot on in mustard yellow that's very tempting was silk violet a colour that the mk1 came in or just mk2

They only did that colour on a GSi, would look cack in my opinion on a MK1.

[Walshysr]

I agree mate don't think it would look right on a mk1 struggling with colour desition it's going to be a bare she'll respray inside and out so my ideas so far are original red Rio Verde green copper colour and now mustard yellow I've not seen that colour before only Jamaica yellow and that's not for me it looks like it's been fading for 50 years imo

[Southie]

I personally would stay away from green as it's not a good colour if you come to sell on, how about star silver that was on the GSi's.

[Walshysr]

I'm not keen on silver its to plain for me I would like it to be a original colour that the mk1 came in Ino green was not one of them but I do like it a lot mustard yellow or green it's just going for the final disition scaring me haha

[dgbnova#1]

Hard one that mate it's red originally so why not the red off the Gtes think it's possably Rosso red will find a pic and message it to you

and don't be taking the piss out of jam yellow lol

silk violet was on other models other than Gsi also

Go really retro in brown. Only came on very early ones and probably no original SR's ones left in brown.

Still gets my vote....

Baryt brown was a very rare mk1 colour, it is a pale copper colour.
They did do a green Corsa GT for European countries. Was a lighter green than Rio.

There was a mocha brown sr too wasn't there?

[Novasport]

Yes

[mowgli]

Op, it is your car, your money, your choice. A metallic green over grey would look pretty good imho

[Walshysr]

I really like the mocha brown sr that someone has on the site really do like that but I think I would struggle to get the interior an the bumper and also I have never liked green but the Rio Verde sr a member owns on here has done looks perfect so hard choice Dave (dgbnova) send me a pic of a rosso red gte this morning and I love it too many nice colours hardest decision I've even had to make

[Ian_Gsi16v]

Got to be the standard red, mustard yellow or brown :)

[Walshysr]

Red is the easiest option but really liking rosso red
