I don't like the colour when it is old and uncared for. It looks especially bland - I know it kind of masks bird **** but that in a way is my point.

Problem is a whole colour change is a lot more involved.

I'd stick with the original but spend a lot of time wet sanding and fluffing and puffing it up to a luxurious deep shine with some shiny chrome and euro bumpers to match
