Black and other colour not red you want it to stand out IMHO
Keep the centre red tho.

Yes definately doing centre red ive vinyl wrapped it already and painted the griffin black. I was leaving it like that but someone suggested the writing being red. Not convinced though.

The badge has 'VAUXHALL' stamped into the top edge, and the letter 'V' stamped into the flag that the griffin is holding.

How about gold lettering? Black on red backround with gold letters. Can then match my calipers gold with red decals.
