Been thinking about this since before I bought it.
Have seen a few online pics of black roofed red cars, but not in the flesh.

Obviously reversible if it doesn’t knacker the paint...

Consensus..?

I think it looks great... What about an Italian flag strip to break up the two colours a bit.

If you've got black wheels and mirrors then yes it looks good. Go with the gloss wrap not matt

I had Matt black parts on my Exige 350 and it was the worst stuff ever - although to be fair it was Matt paint not vinyl.

Would only have gloss, as long as it looks like paint and not onbviously a wrap.

For me I don’t like it , seems to make the car look taller



but if it’s only a wrap and you like it why not

I think it looks great, I have a Blue Mini with a (gloss) Black roof.
Really sets the car off and makes it look that little bit different.

I think it would look great. I’ve added carbon wing mirrors to my Spider now but you get the idea of it from this shot.

Love the look with the black gloss, always been a favourite combo of mine from an lowlight Karmann Ghia i had to the Audi TT Sport i owned.
Black Gloss all the way

I have the Launch Edition Matt white car which i brought off SuperLeggera, been thinking of adding Italian stripes from front to back down the middle but cant seem to find a good picture of one, i think the width off it makes a difference as well, my signwriter says it would look nice edged with a thin gold edging. I think also how the front edge is finished makes a big difference, any ideas please
thanks

I think these are a touch too wide.
Overall though, I like the look on a white car




And


I always liked the factory decals - what I’d have had if I’d bought a white one
