I have just got my wheels back from the polishers so once i am back from holiday i shall be getting the centres painted...

I am debating on what colour cream to go for, dont want nothing to over the top. So i was thinking 'Mustang Wimbledon White'

Then i had an idea put to me to have the roof done to match. As much as i like the idea not sure what it would look like with the valver having a sunroof...what are peoples opinions?

easy way take a few pictures of your car and use paint shop pro or photoshop and change it there before you decide, i like it as it is to be honest..

Yeah I personally don't see it working as the sun roof will stick out like a sore thumb but how about a cream bonnet bra? That would probably work.

Would be superb, without the sunroof! With the sunroof, I don't know but if it does stick out then do something with the sunroof :idea:

You could have the roof painted but get a vynil in the same color for the sunroof?

Or you could just get the sunroof sprayed couldn't you?

Yep, or have a pattern, logo or stick tons of stickers on it (although you won't generally see it up there!

I was just thinking of how easy it would be to return to stock!

I was thinking of doing the same thing, but I will be going for pearl white.

Chequered Roof mate 8) 8)

That would look the t**s!! And the sun roof won't stand out like a sore thumb, and for colour, the same sort of cream as your seats 8)
