Here's the links I've accumulated on this one (some of these have been 
mentioned, but what the heck ...):

Dr. J's illustrated Parthenon lecture has a nice painted fragment photo 
plus restoration from the British Museum (the illustrated Parthenon lecture 
is worth looking at as well, of course):

http://www.drjclassics.com/drj/sites/acropolis/0093.htm

PTR has a couple of photos of the same thing:

The Parthenon in Nashville gives some idea (I suppose; doesn't quite seem 
gaudy enough):

An antefix with some original paint:

Some VR from the Miller Project:

(the main url is http://www.vrac.iastate.edu/ArchVR/)

The companion website to PBS' *The Greeks: Crucible of Civilization* has 
some nice VR as well (click on The Acropolis Experience then 3d tour):

There's a flash version as well which I've never been able to check out 
(for some reason, my computer doesn't believe I have Flash installed):
