thank you!!, yes I like them with coloured tops, (on the right colour car that is), a few of my friends that have seen it say they would have black but im going to stick with red I think.

thanks!!

it didn't do to badly on the way home you know!..., it did 225 miles to £45 (super unleaded) at a decent pace (mostly 70-80 mph, with probably 30 miles or so of typical 40-50 mph through Birmingham etc)

Two M roadsters?? :shock:

Good man :D

Personally I think a blue top goes best with silver

Edit.. Just noticed you have red/black interior..

I think theyd both look ok as long as the trim matched the roof!, I don't know which Id choose personally (if I was back in time and was spec'ing a one new)
that said ive only ever bought two brand new cars, one of them was an s1 elise, and I ordered that in aluminium silver with red seats and red roof as it happens!!

I like the contrast vs the "too normal" black....I'm considering getting a cream one and having it dyed to colour match the red/brown leather I'm using on my interior... :wink:

I think a red top on a car with a red interior, looks great. Possibly a bit more of a challenge to keep clean though.

I'd love a red roof for mine but the keeping it clean has stopped me so far.

Like the contrast, Red top make it stand out from growing millions of silver cars on the road.
In love with driving again (its the Z effect)
