Default Colour advice needed

Just agreed to get a mate hardtop, it's navy blue and my car is white. Originally I thought of painting it white, then I thought may look more modified/race looking.

Any pictures Of white cars with different coloured hardtops or other suggestions?

if you have a black windscreen surround black will work really well IMO, also black roofs are generally easier to sell on if you ever decide to sell it as they suite most colour s2k's

Speak to the guy painting the hardtop to see if he will do the screen surround at the same time or Honda used black vinyl to wrap around them/change colour, speak to a vinyl company to see if you can get it changed to black? most likely be cheaper then painting it and wont stone chip.

I'd make it white, nothing nicer than a hardtop in colour making the car look like a coupe

I quite like black. Here's a pic of mine. I'm going to have the screen surround wrapped in black to match

If you decide to sell the HT at a later date, it's more likely to sell if it's black

Hmmm really torn, don't want my windscreen surround black as it will suit when the hardtop is on but will look worse in the summer

nothing wrong with black windscreen surrounds with the roof down in the summer, i personally think body colour screen surrounds just dont look nice, especially when the soft top is up and if you had a different colour roof




if you was going to leave the surround white i would paint the roof white,

Agree with Rob's comments

Personally I think white would look better though Ben
