I'm not really talking about anything specific just colors that would match.

what colors you choose should depend on how "flashy" you want to make your car considering british racing green is a dark color. brighter colors would definitely lean towards the "flashy" end (you'll draw more attention). neutrals like grey/silver are safe.

Silver looks nice, and white looks retro in an awesome way. It depends what you're going for.

If you're talking about stripes, then you have a lot of options for a more precise, more unique color match. I have blue/white, which I think looks great and old school, but I do get jealous of some of the more outlandish and creative color combos I see here.

For example, if you got just the right purple for your stripes and mirror caps, you could have a really unique look that people would be totally jealous of.

I like tan for interior. A friend had a BRG / white with black and tan leather. Unfortunately the car had tint (bought that way in SoCal), but with the windows down, it looked awesome. I'd like to get some gold centered 16" Rota RBs for my BRG / white R50. I wonder how my crown spokes would look in gold....
