Roof Advice

Postby scuzzbat » Mon, 21 Oct 2013 7:53 +0000

My Eunos was knicked a month or so ago and I've just got it back on the road thanks to Robert and one or two others.. viewtopic.php?f=9&t=6069&p=49348#p49348

Anyway, I'm in a bit of a dilemma. The car is British Racing Green, the interior is tan leather. The hard top roof I managed to get my paws on is silver.

What colour would look good on BRG. My mechanic says white, my friend says matte black, I'm not sure, but I dont want is the same colour as the car.

Do any of you have a BRG model with a different coloured roof? Does it look good?

Thanks all.

You dont have a pic by any chance? Is it gloss or matt?

I'd also say black...it will go with any other colour should you ever change or decide to sell on...gloss!

I say black too, it seems like too much of a contrast on such a small car when the roof is a very different colour

Definitely go black. I think white would be nasty and, in my humble opinion, a soft top should never have a body colour roof.
