Contrast Roof Picture

Please can we use this thread to post pictures of the various contrast roof options with the different body colours.

I am preparing to order my next vehicle and am wondering if Carpathian Grey (my new favourite colour) would look odd with an Indus Silver roof.

Thanks!

Scotland 2013 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Santorini Black

Ours is Firenze Red with Santorini black roof. Think it looks very good with the privacy glass. Wouldn't have gone for Red as a colour until I saw this one - but it looks very nice.

I have only seen Indus silver roof done with Loire blue both online and in person for some reason. To me the cars don't look as good with the silver roof.

Actually now that I think about it I saw a L405 in Firenze red with an Indus silver roof. Didn't do it for me. 2016 SCV8 Dynamic - Firenze Red/Pimento

IMHO dark cars with lighter colour roofs look odd - almost like the car is wearing a baseball cap the other way round - EMINEM stylee (due to the rear spolier) Laughing

A lighter car with a black roof however looks awesome!

There is a Loire blue Sport with the light roof option (silver?) outside of my offices right now, looks rather smart IMHO. Reminds me of our old CSW Deafener, that was dark metallic green with a white roof. Very trad.

(Not my Sport btw - mine is Aruba with the black roof). MY2016 HSE D SDV6 - gone due to fuel dilution problems.

2013 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Stornoway Grey

Barolo Black with the silver roof also looks quite smart IMHO as does Firenze with a White roof, but Firenze with a Sliver roof looks a bit strange. I have yet to see any L405, RRS2 or Evoque with the Corris Grey option of the Contrast Roof. I though I had seen a Pheonix Ornage Discovery Sport with it but it turned out to be a very shiny black roof with the sun glinting offfit when i finally saw the same car again. There has been an Evoque Spedcial Edition where you had the option of a lemon yellow metallic body with a black roof that looked Ok BUT the other option was a black body with a lemon yellow roof.......... didn't work IMO. Neither was a great seller for LR!

Evoque in Zanzibar with Santorini Roof (now discontinued for Evoque but Zanzibar is now avilable for RRS2 if you want something a bit different from all the Whites, Blacks, Greys and Reds)

Santorini Black roof over Aruba body, with tinted windows. Seems to turn a lot of heads, and still looks quite clean even when dirty.

Easy for you to say, my issue at the moment is what roof colour goes nicely with a Black (SVR) Banging Head
I'm leaning towards just leaving the roof as is but keep thinking that a different coloured roof would make it look that little bit more personal and bespoke. Getting it wrapped has been some good advice to date but still thinking about what colour! Silver possibly or even something to tie in with the part Tan leather interior..

2013 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Stornoway Grey

How different do you want to be? Land Rover did a special edition evoque in Sicilian Lemon with a black contrast roof or Black with a Sicilian Lemon roof............... 1st one was not a popular combo but the Black with yellow roof was very popular! I don't have a photo of a Black with yellow roof but I do have one of the Yellow with black roof. Would certainly be "individual" and definately unique! If you go over to BabyRR.com and type into the search function "Sicilian" you should find a picture of the car with a lemon coloured roof. Not my cup of tea at all, but then I bought a Zanzibar Bronze and a Black Contrast roof with a full tan interior and black pack wheels and lights, was quite individual! So who am I to speak?
There is a Black with Lemon roof Evoque on this link

Thanks for the info Tim. Just want something a bit different and bespoke, not wanting to stand out like a sore thumb tbh! Funnily enough I've seen an Evoque in my neck of the woods in Black with a Yellow roof and Yellow mirrors, not my cup of tea at all!
I'm thinking maybe a dark silver roof wrap could work, not too glaring, just a bit different..
