White with 2 blue stripes would be perfect.

Is white with red speed blocks an option?

Can of good paint. Any colour you like will be much less than £250. Put the rest to a good lock or an angry dog.

I changed my "up and over " door to an electric roller shutter a few years back - made a massive improvement to the garage. The aluminium slats are twin walled with a thin insulating filling in between, plus its a perfect fit all the way around, including a rubber seal that seats the door onto the ground, so no draughts ! It makes a big difference in the winter ! Far more secure than a trad door, plus you gain space above as you dont have a traditional door invading space above you. Cant remember how much it cost now but not as expensive as I thought, and took 2 guys about 2 hours to fit, plus they took the old door away as well Dusty

I'm contemplating the same idea at my house. Need to get some quotes though.

Not as expensive as you think, we paid £700 measured/supplied/installed in white. That was 18 months ago but probably not much more these days.
