When my urq got to the point of needing paint, I was considering the color used on TTs 
called Aviator Gray.  Figured it would be a one-off, and might be tasteful (but I didn't 
to it).

Flames seem pretty extreme, and I'm not up to speed on custom paint trends in Europe, but 
you might consider what are known in the U.S. as "ghost flames."  It's basically a very 
subtle flame job in a barely contrasting color.  They're often difficult to see unless 
you're pretty close to the car.  Anyway, just a thought about another option.

Why should I stick with the original colours .
Altough I'm very fond of the antracite black . And if the coulours are not gonna be 
original , why not
do a custom paint job .

When I was 20 years younger , I did a flame paint job on my first car .

Don't know if I'de go for flames again.

Thoughts , examples ....
Fire away :))
