So ive relented and now that ive done 95% of the mechanical work im finally thinking of getting the exterior done as in dents out and new paint.
The car is milano red which will be getting a refresh and ive to decide what colour to get the roof painted once the dents are taken out.
So whats do you good people think red or black.
I also have a ready painted black bootlid and spoiler so thats another thing to throw into the mix :?

mmm - ive had a phantom grey bonnet for the last few years and i like the change to milano red cf bonnet so dont think i would go to the trouble of getting that painted black - i also have a spare phantom grey oem bonnet that i can slap on if i feel the need to change that at some point.
more i think about the more im veering towards a red roof :)
anyone got any pics of red lude with black roof...

I think the bonnet looks spot on red, with the vent riser picked out in black 8-)

I'd say black roof, with red bootlid, black spoiler?
Maybe?

I think I've grown out of the black bonnet look and I found the extreme back of a black boot on a Milano red lude looked too much, so I just painted the top of my boot black. Might as well do the roof black if you're doing the bonnet and boot black, but otherwise one colour all over.

yeah its funny how things go full circle ;)
one colour is probably way im going to go and car looks more oem now that it has for a long time with it having an oem front bumper fitted for the first time in 15 years
also thinking about swapping back to oem tailights instead of smoked :o
