Default Do YOU think this will look good in ....

The roof,a tiny bit of rust is appearing,so I am getting it done,but then the body shop put a thought in my head....Paint the roof black...Looked everywhere for a computer programe to see what it will look like but to no avail,so what do you think?..Black,or stay yellow ?
Pics here.

I'd go black jimmy but if you don't want paint how about a vinyl wrap? I'd also do the top part of the spoiler in black to so the black them goes straight across the car rather than stop three quarters of the way back

Black roof and the top of the spoiler would look nice.
Have you thought about it without the stickers?

£30 seems cheapier than the 500 quid to rub down/out or whatever with the tiny bit of rust and paint it black....Think this may be the way forward,are there companies out there that can do it for me?...Cheers

If you are having roof wrapped then get all the rust out first as it will lift the vinyl

2nd that and if you dont like it you can pull it off and go back to normal. Also on a side note and just my opinion, re fit the standard scoop. the new age ones are to big for the classic bonnet.

Keep clear of the car in the link Jim.

Firstly it's not making 380+ on a VF34
Secondly it's a cat D repaired car, 9K gets you a far far better car IMO.

Keep your car, remove the awful stickers and have the roof wrapped in carbon effect. The black and yellow will look really nice with the other black touches you've got.

if it was mine i would sell the carbon bonnet and use the money to buy a standard one and paint both the new bonnet and roof yellow then remove the stickers.
the car looks really good in yellow and its a rare colour.
