Purple and yellow would be the best way to go...
I love purple, and always had a dream of having a purple S, although more obviously purple than yours Catcharat. Oh what we'd all do with limitless funds, eh?!
I thought the black would look ok, but agree there's a risk it may be too similar. I think either the silver or moonrock would be an intriguing combo. I think you'll need to photoshop some combos to get a better idea. Carbon fibre wrap would be interesting too...

OK, so I do get the point about black maybe being too close to deep purple.... but lime green... really?? 
Best get cracking with photoshop at the weekend and see what works.
Cheers guys!

I would only go with a matching or black hard top anything else will not look right IMO.

you could try and convince someone to let you drop a berlina one on your car..
i like the look of a ht, mine is going on this weekend after i get it back from a service because i got frostbite today..
fwiw i agree you'd probably notice the difference tween your car and the black.. you could get a paint damaged top which needed paint.. i paid £350 for a HT, £350 for a fitting kit.. you'd need to find another £200 for paint i guess

i would go for a vinyl wrap, either satin black or carbon fibre, it will free up your buying options so a silverstone would not be a problem
i had a quote for a bonnet it was £120 in satin and £160 in carbon effect so im guessing a hard top would be similar in cost bit less material bit more time
