Maybe it's because I'm looking on my phone but from that angle the black roof makes it look like a rover 220 with a t-roof :grin:
Liking the tints on the lights mind.

Beat me to it.

Mirrors, roof carbon fiber. Black wheels and smoked lights all round. Debadged front and back and lowered about 40mm will not ruin the comfort or handling but will give it a bit more attitude.

or speak to these guys and get the real deal...

Been thinking this over for a while, Dom's photoshop to me tell me that a black roof is not a good idea, it just does not seem to suit the car.

So have picked a can of gloss black and when the weather is better  :grin: I will be redoing the mirrors, then black wheels however I am having insurance hassle with getting different wheels covered (long story).

So at the moment wheels are on the back burner until I can sort it.

Your car looks nice in your signature.
Black wheels though will look dirty in a few minutes after a wash. Just go anthracite or something dark with a shimmer.
Black wheels will make your tyres look dull and grey. (tyre shine don't last for ever)
