Would I de-value?

Probs another debate-starter, but I need people's oppinions...

My new (well to me) 748 needs tidying up a tad in the bodywork dept.

Now I was just going to get a re-spray back to the original red with original decals etc, with the exception of a carbon front fender and carbon airbox (so a red / black mix going on)...

BUT...

I have always liked the 'old' Monster Mob colour scheme used a few years back in BSB (if I remember right), and have thought about maby having the panels done like that?

Or...

Just all gloss (shiny) black panels with polished wheels, stainless exhaust guard, heal guards etc etc...

Just really wanting people's oppinions and views with regards to re-sale of the bike in the future. Will I de-value her with a after-market spray job (esp as it 'old' colours), or should I just put her back to her former (red) glory?

I do realise this is all to do with personal taste (and I always like to be different), but I don't want to shoot myself in the foot!

Cheers,

Diehard
