For me i think it would be all about what the purpose with the ride is, but as you mentioned black car with red interior is awesome then we have a light color as Savanna beige or even a white car with some nice wheels perhaps tyres with a narrow red wall....

Grey looks good...
(http://images.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/505653.jpg)
Supposed to be Anthracite Grey but the paint suppliers made a slight error and it can look slightly brown in some lights and almost green in others. ::)

I don't really like silver with red, tends to make he red look too bright. White or black generally look best.

I'm a fan of white bugs with red interiors a well. I had a white '66 with red and it looked sharp. Plus bieng a '66, it had my favorite style of door panel because of the little chrome trim piece in the middle.

Rasser, that is one sweet looking car! I've always thought that red interiors only look good on black, white, or silver/gray cars. But yours looks rather fitting. Love the overall look of your car, too.

The best color to go with red interior, hands down is black, but I'm partial.
