White E70 black roof, anyone got this?

Post by 8PXJ » Thu Nov 03, 2016 3:27 pm

Hi,

New member here.
The car is going in for new treads, and getting the wheels painted black at the same time, (fed up of the lacquer failing).
I noticed they do wrapping (the vinyl kind) and thought about getting the roof wrapped black.

It's a white X5, and wondered if anyone had any pics of this.

Cheers

Taste is taste, no matter what, so if you think it'll look nice then get it. Don't give a sod about what people think.


It isn't a M3/5/6 however  :P

Photo shop a picture and take a look!

It is a personal thing and one only you can decide upon.
If things were meant to be easy, then I will soon complicate them....

But then I could be talking bollox.. O:-)

When I was 18 in the early 60s Austin and Morris mini coopers were available with snowberry white bodies and black roofs. I had a Standard 10 that was grey with a black roof.  I worked in a garage then driving a Land Rover with crane attachment for breakdowns.  It was white with a black roof - but then this was in Newcastle - so are you a Newcastle United (Magpie) supporter???

As said, it's a matter of personal taste that harkens back to another era of two-tone paintwork!

Thanks for the replies, albeit Graeme's one was pointless.

Found a couple on the internet, and just went with the black wheels and caliper paint in the end.
Happy with the result.
