I'd stick with a white roof on this one tbh, seeing as the rest of the car is white.

I think the glass roof will look ok, but if not, why not cover that instead with glass frosting so it looks more white?

Photoshop is your friend.

I'd stick with a white roof as well.

also when the sills are black, looks like the car has been welded up at some point.

I vote for white roof.

White roof.....save black roofs for newer German cars.

First time someone tries to hail you as a taxi will be fun. Not the 5th time imho.

It will look like a taxi. You know it will. People will tell you it looks like a taxi and you won't be able to callbullshit on them.
