No, I was never an MGA guy. My first car was a '68 MGB, and I decided to go back to my youth a few years ago and restored a '64:

Claire orange - wouldnt mind it but I am thinking going towards something simple and classy.
Sonic bronze metallic - I already know a guy with a 7 that color
Purple - same as sonic bronze metallic.

If you want an idea of what super white is, just find a 92 Nissan 300ZX, they had that color option. Blindingly bright white. Very sweet color.

I will definately use the flex stuff on the bumpers and grille areas. Also I may check the price of adding some sort of pearl into the paint. That does sound like a real nice idea. As far as thebody work, my friend did most of it, and I did all the "bitch" work. Sanded the car, swapped the fenders, etc.

Also forgot to mention earlier that I also removed the antennas (yes, 2). The previous owner (idiot) put in a CB radio and instead of using the factory antenna hole (antenna was broken), they drilled a new one. Also didnt do too hot on the drilling job I might add. I will have some updated pics and some closeups soon.
