Silver roof?

Hi guys,

Just wondering if anyone has any pics of a black FF with a silver roof?.

I am toying with the idea of wrapping my roof in brushed aluminium, not because I want to be a chav or anything, its just i have to park under tress, and Cleaning the roof is a mission. So I thought about wrapping it so that all the sap and bird sh*t wont totally ruin the paint to the roof.

My biggest concern is it looking exactly like what I dont want it too, I dont live in essex, and i dont play football......

Any other thoughts about colour welcomed (BTW, car is mariana black) 2009 Westminster. Mariana black with ivory leather.

Thanks for the mention Craig! Just getting in here quick before the chav comments!!

I liked the colour combo on the new RR's and I bought this from a LR dealer. They told me that the roof was original spec, but it turned out that it wasn't and it started to peel within a few weeks of my ownership. It was LR dealer resprayed to Zermatt Silver (at not cost to me) and I think it looks pretty good. It works well with the side tubes and I have added the later vents and later grille to set it off. I'm really pleased with it now and intend to keep it.

Thanks for the pics guys

I too wasn't sure if it would look ok or chavvy, but having seen the pics it's not as 'look at me' as I thought.

Could be a go'er I'm thinking, will be infinitely better than trying to Polish the roof!!. 2009 Westminster. Mariana black with ivory leather.

You can always peel it off. Just ask the wrapper firm not to junk the under paint with blades etc.

If it's just to protect the paint, you could have it wrapped in black. Confused John

In reply to this question:

I didn't pay anything as it was covered by the Land Rover dealer but I did see the invoice as it has a paint guarantee but it cost £3,400!!!!

I did intially think along those lines, but once I had machined polished the car, the blue fleck in the paint really stood out again, and I think that black just wouldnt work. This is why I thought of a contrast colour, Silver.

Been and got a few quotes, looking at around £250 for the roof and upper side panels. Just deciding if it is £250 worth of grief cleaning the roof lol. 2009 Westminster. Mariana black with ivory leather.
