I know the colour you're talking about! I think it would work on the
roadster, for sure. Having said that, one of the guys here has a black
roadster that looks fantastic, and it doesn't sound like your car is so much
more chromed than an original that it would look bad?
The first time I saw the black roadster, I simply drooled. And I've got a
red one! I always liked silver, too, but as you say, it doesn't show off
the chrome quite so much. I remember a beautiful burgundy one in Brisbane,
and that would be a similar shade to the dark silver of the Honda, and I
really liked that too!
Cheers,
Steve
(who probably hasn't been much help)
