I think a colour similar to below could look good, as you say….

I rather like the two tone look, it's reminiscent of large luxury saloon cars that I used to see when I was a youngster. One of my grand fathers had a two tone Vanden Plas Princess 4.0Ltr R, Mind you that was many, many years ago |

Just noticed this thread. I have just been discussing this with a body shop & the costs are in. Just trying to decide if I shall pull the trigger. My Fifty is in Carpathian Grey with a black roof, so its the bonnet & windows down to the door handles for paint. Much like the above picture. Trying to decide on plain gloss black or metallic black. Would like a metallic that really pops in the sunlight, dosn't have to be Land Rover Obsidian or Santorini. You don't really see the roof anyway so a different black won't matter.

You asked so I’m going to be frank - it makes a RR look cheap and nasty. Plus every one like that I have seen seems to attract a certain clientele - there is also a car wash of certain ethnicity in the local town that has one like that and rumour has it they provide several types of services and goods.

It’s not split along the body line like the SVAutobiography option, think the roof is still black, as so:

Not so easy on L461 as the swage line tapers to nothing near the rear |
