Gunmetal with black roof… ![http://72.232.109.106/pics/e2%20is%20for%20e30/blackroof1.jpg](http://72.232.109.106/pics/e2%20is%20for%20e30/blackroof1.jpg) ![http://72.232.109.106/pics/e2%20is%20for%20e30/blackroof2.jpg](http://72.232.109.106/pics/e2%20is%20for%20e30/blackroof2.jpg) Red with Black roof ![http://img181.imageshack.us/img181/4889/blckrfed9.jpg](http://img181.imageshack.us/img181/4889/blckrfed9.jpg) Or Plain old flat black ![http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y146/Boarderx192/jossakin.jpg](http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y146/Boarderx192/jossakin.jpg) ![http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y146/Boarderx192/Helmi.jpg](http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y146/Boarderx192/Helmi.jpg) ![http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y146/Boarderx192/siivoamassasisustaa.jpg](http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y146/Boarderx192/siivoamassasisustaa.jpg) ---
