The other thing I've been thinking would be lovely in a VX would be--since our leather is somewhat problematic and tends to be in rough shape on the driver's seat at least--something like what Dodge has done with the Longhorn edition of the Ram. Tooled saddle-style leather--a heavy grained leather with some detail worked into it. I've seen some amazing examples on choppers, and the VX's curves would really inspire some flowing/curving artwork.

Yellow and Black, maybe not, but two tone dark and honey brown. That'd be sharp. Of course that would beg for some recolouring of the interior bodywork, but if it's going all custom, why not?

I totally agree with the others that the color should be something that was not available on any of the USA models. My #1 color pick would be the 2006 MINI COOPER color of "PURPLE HAZE". It is a dark purple metallic with pearl that is absolutely gorgeous in bright sunshine.

I'm confident once you see this color in person on a MINI Cooper, it will be the color you choose. As a darker mica color, the "PURPLE HAZE" color would fit along the same production VX lines as a Dragon Mica or FoxFire Mica and would look totally OEM factory as an optional color by Isuzu.

Don't go with a loud color that is too obnoxious like a Kawasaki Green or Lamborghini Orange, as it just wouldn't look OEM factory and would likely limit marketability in trying to sell the VX to a wider market. The "PURPLE HAZE" color is refined and elegant with class, while being totally different from everyday common colors.



BTW-- My #2 color choice would be the Cadillac "CHAMPAGNE" metallic (aka Gold Mist Metallic) color found on the new Escalade. The Cadillac Escalade "CHAMPAGNE" (aka Gold Mist Metallic) color is also a pearl and would look extremely elegant, but would really be a striking contrast against the dark cladding of the VX. Pick this paint color if you want the cladding to really "pop" as a contrasting color.
