White roof?

So, looking at my 110 I am thinking of a bit of a change, what do you think of a white roof option?

My inspiration comes from a couple of winters ago....... I kind of like the retro look

It was the only part that stayed clean on my old 110……

I like a white roof (and white wheels) but generally only on non-metallic colours. Metallic colours look too modern for a traditional roof IMHO. It's the same with other 'modern' details such as clear indicators and tail lights. Darren

I suggest white roof and wheels then paint the body red!

You've got a few options imo.

I love cream roofs, if and when the farm truck can ever justify having a respray done on the roof I will have it in old english white / cream.

A white can work with metalic, I had a white roof on my metallic racing green cooper S, you didn't notice the difference as something odd. I did also toy with the idea of a cream roof on it but sold it before I did.

I would go for it

My way of thinking is that white will go better with the green, better than the cream
