Clubsport Roof Resprayed Black
« on: 19 February 2017, 12:04 »
Just wondering is it a good idea to have my white Clubsports roof professionally sprayed black exactly like the factory option. Only half the roof would need to be done as I have the panoramic tilting/sliding roof. One problem I can see is that the satellite antenna may need to be loosened to accommodate the spray job something which I wouldn't be happy about.

Just get it wrapped in black, then it is 100% reversible and it will also protect the paintwork as a bonus.

I'd have to agree with that 100%.

Then if you suddenly think you've made a terrible mistake it's easy to get rid of it.

I would get it wrapped as like said it's good for paint protection. Gives options to swap it back at any point and cheaper.

NO, terrible idea... Leave it alone and enjoy driving it!

I think you are right, not such a great idea, there is enough black on the car already and I don't want to turn it into more or less a two tone car. May put the money instead toward a set of 18" black "Pretorias" or the 19" ones in grey.

Good choice, I'm considering getting some prets with cup 2 tyres for the summer...
