Roof colour with EB

[mikeythemini]

I can't work out what colour roof to havewith Electric Blue. The dealer has one with a white roof and it doesnt look right or are the white wheels just putting me off. What would a black roof looklike?? photos??
I would like the mirrors body colour but the dealer says I would have to get them painted

If you can hold on, I know someone who's getting EB and black in about 3 weeks, I'll be taking a pic as this combo seems interesting??? Otherwise, someone round here might photoshop a regular EB for you.

I think EB would look great with a black roof.

I will get mine in 1-3 weeks. If you can't wait until I'll post the pictures there's a thread with a "gimped" version of a EB with black roof: http://www.mini2.com/forum/showthrea...&threadid=8115

Good heavens LMB, that looks really good - far better than I'd percieved. Cool.

I'll post some real pics soon.

The EB I drove had white X-lites, and in my opinion didn't do it any favours.......Silver S-spokes makes it a different kettle of fish......

I concur with Basil. When I see one, my head turns to it as if it had a magnet attached. In other words, stunning! You can't go wrong in EB w/ a black top either from what I've seen so far in pics, but darker wheels (grey/black finish rims) would match it better, imo.

oh yeh, forgot to attach a pic. Perhaps some photoshop user can change this for you

[KarmanS]

I apologize for the multiple posts. I simply have too much time on my hands at the moment. It's so boring watching France scoreless in their match against Denmark. Tough luck for them as many of their shots didn't go through and they need at least 3 of them to at least make it to the next round

anyhow, some editing of the Cooper S pic in MS Paint and here you have a sloppy picture of what EB w/black could possibly look like

Don't sweat it Karman......Sorry, but White Roof/Mirrors gets my vote.......but only with silver wheels.

[KarmanS]

Basil, not to be misleading, that would be my first choice too.

Certainly, I'm not an EB fan....but it looks better with a white roof.......he he he ok ok, I'll stop now.

That's brilliant - can someone please do the same with a BRG Cooper S so I can see what it looks like with a black roof and the silver alloys? I would be most greatful.

I've never said "Good Heavens" in my life.

I get the message Paul.

Here's a less 'sloppy' retouche of a black top on an EB MCS to give you a better observation:
