V12V contrasting roof color, opinions?

[KarlFranz]

Here's a V12V in what looks like Morning Frost with a black roof panel.

Turn your volume down as music is a bit loud:

A carbon fibre roof panel might complement the CF bonnet louvers very nicely.

[Beefmeister]

I'm sure someone somewhere will make a real CF roof panel for the V12/8V - i think it looks fantastic on a bright colour.

I'd have that orange one, with a CF roof panel and some dark grey ADV.1 track spec wheels in OEM sizes (much lighter than stock wheels).

Is that a mannequin?

It's bad enough in Morning Frost white, but with the carbon roof

[Slarti]

I think it looks awesome in white with that black roof. I like the way the roof blends into the rear window. There are too many cars in white today that don't suit the colour but it's not the case here.

Not a fan I saw a GT4 at Gaydon with that colour scheme
It looks too "trying to be a race car" IMHO

[The Pits]

It look alright, if a bit different for the sake of it.

easy solution is to put a vinyl wrap on, then if you change your mind, simply remove it.

carbon roof would be extortionate, irreversible (though you could paint it), and would mean cutting into your roof with large angry power tools.

I know I couldn't and wouldn't want to do that to my V12V for what is a very minor change visually.

Looks like it has a targa roof!

[JohnG1]

Looks a bit like an M3 with the carbon roof panel.

Not for me....

[Adam2S]

I love it...

I think you might need to explain what "meh" means for the pipe 'n' slipper brigade!

[lady topaz]

I quite like it, but not on my car. It does suit white, but I wouldnt have a white car either.

I think the V12V is already beautiful and the vents give it all the additional presence it needs. Trying to draw more attention removes any remaining subtlety it may possess. As someone else says it looks like it should be on a track.

All imho of course.

Not sure about the roof but I wouldn't mind one of those turntables in my garage!

What you really need are carbon fibre strakes to finish it off

[ATTAK Z]

I did a similar thing on my 350Z ... but I won't be doing it to the Aston

Get thee behind me. Err that doesn't sound right. I will defer judgement John, you know I'm tempted.

What's wrong with Morning Frost? I think it's a lovely color and one of my first choices (probably second after Magma) for the V12V. I think it really looks good with the carbon in the vents, strakes, front lip spoiler and rear diffuser.
