And I agree! Bottom line: it's YOUR car; do as you wish. Yes, to some
degree you MIGHT be decreasing its value, but the change is not
irreversible. And to many, the end result might be far MORE appealing
(and even, dare I say, valuable) than the extremely rare but
factory-correct combination of, say, green paint and Targo Purple
interior. Or many of the original Herald colors such as Coffee, Alpine
Mauve, Targo Purple....
