option 1. Yeh - Way cool if you have the right colour car with anthracite wheels
option 2. Nah - Looks odd, stick with the colour coded ones
option 3. Other opinion(please specify)

What do you think?

If you want wind in your hair get a Tamora.

Targa panels can be a nightmare on T350 and wind noise can be very bad, especially on early ones ask neil B.

I think you have misread the question. Im not asking about whether to get a T or a C. I have already decided on a T, but i have been offered a T with Carbon coloured roof panels and anthracite wheels and i wondered what peoples opionions were to this compared to a normal colour coded T350T roof panels.

BTW, wind noise can be solved easily (as explained by 3 seperate dealers i spoke to today)

I'd go with option 1.
Cool with the right colour - like the yellow with anthracite wheels. Nice.

Mine are colour coded and look ace IMO (well I would think that wouldn't I!). Very batmobile.

I think it depends on the body colour - for instance on a grey/silver car the carbon panels look absolutely fantastic. I don't like dark wheels anyway so no comment on that.

Wind noise on the mk2 fittings is none existant below 100mph, and not bad up to 125mph if you fit them really carefully. Fit them quickly/badly and they whistle like a banshee over 60mph. They're not hard to get right though. Mk1 fittings seem to be slightly worse for noise.

Yes, I love that combo, and I guess dark wheels are right for it too.

I agree with this. Option 1. They look great with the right colour car (yellow press car for example), but, for example, I don't think they'd suit mine, and the colour coded ones look better on it IMO.

Carbon panels and avoid the dark wheels IMO. I think they are a fashion that will fade.

He doesn't want a Tamora or else he'd be asking about Tamoras now wouldn't he?

As for wind noise - easily fixed by the factory with new roof and panel seals that are in fact more effective than the later T350T seals - and the updated seal CAN NOT be fitted to the later style panels.

Jump on somebody elses bandwagon will you
