To paint or not to paint? That is the question...

I've taken a picture of my RRS today and photoshopped a black roof on it.... Mind you I have black 22" wheels that will go along with them when the weather gets better.

What do you guys think of the black top?

Would appreciate your guys input before I jump into this

I think so as well. It's a nice contrast plus looks a bit more updated.

Gloss or matte? What do you think

the gloss looks real nice, i'm also a lover of matte but gloss with the gloss red for sure. Recently bought a 2007 RRS HSE TDV6 for a Pimp-My-Ride-Project.

I was not keen on the black roof look when it started to appear but it is growing on me and does give yours an updated look Shocked

Black roof looks good on mine - but it is all black Laughing

Still hate white roofs though (and white range rovers) - unless it is a wedding car or a police car Whistle Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Still hoping for a S2 one day!

I'm going to get it done for sure. Do the pillars in matte like the original and the roof gloss black.

I was consideringa wrap, but to be hhonest I often go through car washes and I just don't want the headache of it peeling.

I will see what the two choices are.

Thanks a lot guys.... For your input.
