Another for keeping it black here. Looks great in that combo!

Another for the keep it black buddy, also means if you ever wanted to sell it you could maximise the market

Black looks the dogs, we need a poll....MARLON !!!

DMC63 (David) had his roof stripped and sprayed, he may be able to help

Noooooo everybody stop persuading me to stay black!! I was already unsure as it is

I've had my heart set on a white hard top for soooooo long it's goin white!

Here's a few tasters of what it could look like...

Also thoughts on the rear aero spoiler to compliment the roof spoiler? Plus I can get it sprayed at same time....

I still prefer the Black....if your determined to paint you could always paint in Matt Black !!!!
it would then look more like the soft top and less like it was from another car

I agree that it looks great in black. If it was to go white I'd wrap it as if/when you come to sell it being able to go back to black would make it easier to sell than white.

I've just posted that photo of the black/white roof on a different topic before seeing it here.

Here's a full white lid on a white Z for comparison. Wheels aren't as nice as yours though

I was in the keep it black camp, I've had my matte black hardtop on both my zedz.....

But then seeing it all white.... Looks awesome! Definitely get it sprayed

If you want it white then wrap it, best of both.

If you're looking to get it sprayed white I'd take it to a specialist. I had mine sprayed from Maldives blue to Sapphire Black by BMW in house spray shop. Cost £700 inc vat and included having the window removed and replaced in order to get the paint in the gap. Really please with the job. Also you have to be very careful just giving it to an indie, they only have to oversand the leading edge profiles and it'll leak and give wind noise. I went with BMW because if there was any problems they'd be able to replace with new with no hassles.

Get it sprayed! Dual tone top looked good.

I like the full on black look, even with the white hardtop pic that chapeau has posted. Two tone also looks quite good as pictured above! If you've got your heart set on it then I'd go for a wrap? Then you can always revert back to the black

Cheers for the tips kis, wasn't aware the spoiler came off so would make spraying a lot easier! And didn't think about getting the rear window tinted, not a bad shout!

And agree about getting a decent spray job but the guy I use is the best around here! And I'm going to his stag do and wedding so i better get a decent price

Undecided about full white or 2 tone

It's an easy choice *KEEP IT BLACK* to make on your hardtop *KEEP IT BLACK*, I would *KEEP IT BLACK* do a poll and go from there, oh, and KEEP IT BLACK
