Black Roof...

Featured Replies

What do you guys think, should I go for the black roof/top once I get my Fiesta?

Here is a picture that I like...

Personally I think it looks good on white fiestas but I'd do the spoiler too. Possibly a carbon fibre effect?

I think that one looks good but I wonder if it would be better if the black carried on a little further. Its hard to explain without pointing it out. The black should go onto the spoiler which has a rounded off line to it a couple of inchs back from the roof/boot lid join.

Dunno if that makes sense to yous. I reckon it round look smoother like this than just a squared off black roof like in that pic.

True, I really like the look of it :)

You could use Windows paint to show what you mean :D

But anyway...I think I got your point...

works for me, but only if your doing it in gloss black as I think fake carbon is rather chavvy :D

Gloss black like the one in the picture, I guess, right?

No, I don't want the carbon look...I somehow want the panorama roof feeling :D at least from the outside :P

lol here we go:

A: the roof end/boot lid join where people usually take the black to

B: where I was thinking the black should go to for a smoother finish due to the rounded corners (just onto the spoiler).

I'm no artist, especially not in Paint, but heres a rough idea:

EDIT: looking back I've probs went over line 'B' slightly in paint - I just had to guess where it was at the time as the image was fuzzy when zoomed in and the line wasn't visible.

And I agree, it must be done in gloss black - nothing else

:)

Paul, you did a great job!

Now I perfectly understand what you mean...and yes, you are right, it looks better like you suggested!

Gloss black will be! :)

Cheers!
