Black. However, I would choose CYM if I had to do it all over again.

cym Is a factory yellow.

It all depends on what you want to do with the car. some guys want the rare color FDs because they are more valuable. I got me a red one because i got it at a good price. If it where my true choice i would have gotten a White or yellow FD.

Out of the options above, I'd go silver with the red interior. In good condition of course. They're really good looking cars in my opinion. I'm all about the white FD though.

My order would be (same as when I bought mine many years ago):

1. (BB) Black
2. (VR) Red
3. (SSM) Silver

I like white and yellow cars, but I don't want to own one. I've never been a fan of (MB) blue, but an FD is an FD.

When I bought my car, I made a list of colors I *didn't* want. Much easier to take it that direction.

The real issue comes with finding a solid, clean, quality FD that's in your price range. Color has to take a back seat to that.

BTW, I have a black FD, and I do like how it looks, but keeping black up is SUCH a pain in the ***. Always looks dirty, shows tiny scratches and blemishes so easily....it's definitely not a forgiving color.

With those choices I would go Black, red then silver, I say black because if you ever wanted to go wingless it is the best color for it...
