Pic Request: Grey w/ Black Roof

My Mini was seriously damaged in the local hail storms here in St. Louis about two weeks ago. I need a new hood, new tail gate, possibly a new roof, and a new windshield.

My Mini currently has the charcoal paint with a white roof and my hood stripes are black outlined w/ white centers.

They're going to have to repaint my roof anyway and I'm considering having them paint it Mini black instead. I'd love to see some pics of grey Mini's with black roofs. I'm also considering reversing my hood stripes to white outlined black stripes so pics of that would be appreciated too.

Thanks! That's exactly what I needed. My windows are even tinted like that already.

Black will look a lot better than white in my opinion.

Any other pics? A more top down view perhaps. That one is unfortunatly pretty dark. But I do appreciate it!

I'm hoping going to black will make the roof look better as the huge sunroof makes it look like there's this white trim ring round the top.

I was thinking of the chrome mirror caps to match my chrome koeing rims. That and the honey comb grill.

Dropped my car off at the body show (World Wide here in St. Louis) and they're working on it. Hopefully I'll get it back in a week or so. I'm going to start a new thread with the befor and after pics.

Gray with black roof looks great, I almost bought a JCW in that shade but the price was too high :(

Go with chrome mirror caps. Really breaks up the gray and black and looks great.
