Serin, it IS going to be pink. Resale doesn't matter and as for respect of peers, they think it's cool I have thought long, long and hard (for the last year in fact) about this, been through numerous sensible colours and 20 shades of pink and have brought it down to these two
I tried dark and pale and rosy pinks and they didn't look right, OK for a small car but a bigger everyday car, mebbe not. I am still stuck, am going to sleep on it
