Colour Help Required
I have decided to change the roof colour on my 110 SW to a dull silver, the rest of the landy is black and I dont know if it is the best thing to do i.e. second thoughts. She need something to lighten her up i've thought about white, grey etc but can't decide. Any thoughts? Question Question

Have you got a decent photo of yours? Could probably photoshop something to give you an idea of silver.. My Travel Page

I've never seen a black 110 SW with a white roof just worried it will be to much, grey would match my hair Rolling with laughter Grey I think would be best but flat or metallic. I expect I will also get them to do the wheel arches at some point as well and I thought silver would be good but grey would also be good. arrrrrrrrrrrr Big Cry Big Cry Big Cry

When you start to look at changing things you realise what a good job FCX, Nene, Twisted etc. do

I don't want to twist it to much but I don't want her to look like a hearse either. 1998 90 50th Anniversary 4.0 V8

The classic look works when the classic wheels are used aswell.
So fit steel rims or silver alloys to balance the colours

Those images were quite small (low quality) which makes photoshopping well difficult. Also I'm not great with photoshop Laughing

No worries. If you're doing white, I'd suggest having the chequerplate painted white to match..

Chequeplate is black and looks good, might go grey then get a set of grey Mach 5 wheels in anthracite. Yep still don't know. 1998 90 50th Anniversary 4.0 V8

Keep it black and put the rear flaps back on - sorted. I'd also take the side steps off, but I don't need them for kids / elderly relatives etc. Thumbs Up 2005 Td5 | 90 Station Wagon | Tonga Green
