Have you posted this on vx220.org?

I can imagine the replies already....

It will look gash painted in a flip paint. As has already been said it will look really dated.

White is the best choice imo.

Funnily enough i found the MS Design bodykit pictures the other day. Also Regals blatent attempt at copying it but avoiding the copy by cutting huge holes nad filling it with mesh. I think the Steiny kit was £12k

Flip paint is stunning. The multi flip TVR paint your on about is £800 per litre. I know this as its what Donna wanted on D5NNA, but couldn't justify that cost on the paint (something about the flip paints needing more paint than a normal spray due to all the flips, so 2 litres roughly was needed). Whether copies of the paint are now cheaper im unsure, but the ACTUAL TVR paint was £800 pl. It wouldn't look right on the VX though. It would suit an elise better with its curves. You need curves for flips, the 220 is to angular.

If not white, then i'd have to say some kinda nice deep purple, or failing that, paint it the green as on my bike which everyone seems to drool over.

Not sure about white tbh, would look good for the 5 seconds it was clean then you'd be better off with something else.

Edit, wasn't Steiny, was MS Design.

Sorry, off topic. Wonder where Brabus got their ideas from???

Or if you want it crazy;

Look at some super car colours (like colours from lambo, ferrari, masseratti etc)

Maybe the orange from the murcielago lp640?

Or the green?

Might look a bit tacky but its different

think that Baron-Von-Scubadaddy was the first white vx220, remember the build thread from when i had mine, always wanted that ms kit too but then just went down the turbo rep route.
How about this colour

not got a clue what it is but its farking stunning
