I think white is too common for the EP
you ever consider dark blue or dark beige?
Anyways if its just between those I say the black metallic or olive green

Milano red is a good suggestion...IMO habanero red with bronze rims is one of the sickest color combination you can come accross!

Milano red is a stock EP3 color so i would lke to see a habanero red EP3. That would look sick.

I would just leave it. Unless there is something really wrong with the paint that is on the car now, I would not repaint your car. But if you want to repaint it, I say go for the olive green.
