xavster Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 Hello, My 2005 3.2 is probably going to be treated to a new roof. Should I stick with black, or go with the deep red colour? Is the red too showy??!! Car is slate grey metallic, with extended black leather. What do you all think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenman Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 Personal choice. I like the red roof with the silver cars, I’m not as keen with black or darker greys, buts that’s just my opinion. I’m sure you could find some images of your colour with a red roof. i.e similar to this (in 981 guise) https://images.app.goo.gl/aYmJutnovw2Hd2hZ9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red rocket Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 Definitely Red!! Looks fantastic on a Black or Dk Grey car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xavster Posted August 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 So, 2 people say black and 2 say red!! I’m leaning towards red - this is my 3rd convertible car. My previous Boxster and my Alfa Spider all had black roof. So part of me thinks just do it. I followed a Fiat 500 the other day in dark grey with red roof - I thought it looked a great combination. My wife likes the idea of a red roof. My 5 year old daughter doesn’t!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topbox Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 The dark red would look fine with slate grey, rather stylish IMHO. Could not the roof people give a off cut of the fabric they use to hold up against your paint if you are a little uncertain . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBD914 v2 Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 I would go with red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaman Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 Red. I put a red roof on my Black 987 and it looked fab...it certainly differentiated it from many others and I'm sure when and if you come to sell it will aid its sale ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won’t be doing the job for a while because they’re moving premises in a few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
