Thread: Need help deciding roof color

Go for a similar colour to the rims:

Black roof with black sawtooths (and black pack)
Corris Grey roof with Alloys
White roof with white wolfs

This is just what I have noticed to be the best looking. It's like matching your belt and shoes.

"With the seat sliders drive it for a few months, I'm 6'4" and sliders were the first item on my list, I have decided no to get them now as I really love the upright position and really love when the window is down hanging my arm out and hugging the door, which would be more difficult to do with seat sliders as the pillar would get in the way."

I agree with NovaRover, I'm 6' and like the upright position/arm out window. So no seat sliders for me. Also with sliders it would lift you a bit higher, making it harder to see out side window, especially at 6'4" I imagine.

I think you just nailed it. I'm a white rims, white roof, white everything kind of bloke.

I saw a Keswick green 110 with a black roof parked in Castlereagh St today. I was disappointed in the colour combo and though of the owner who must be either chuffed or sad for his choice. I fell into the later. Biased owner of Keswick green with white roof. MLD

Hi Ben , as you asked , I like white roofs , in fact that's the only colour that I have ever had , and I've had a few over the years . I sure you will be pleased with your new Defender whatever colour roof you choose . Welcome to the forum !!.. Jim ..

Also, to weigh into the seat slider debate; I'm 6' 3 and very long in the leg, and I like sitting far back in cars, but I must say that the defender seating position is very comfortable, and I don't feel like I need to change positions or that I get uncomfortable after long trips, even considering that my back isn't fabulous.

I'm 6ft 2 and a bit. My longest drive is 16 hours so far. No sliders and no ill effect. I'm with those who say hold off until you've driven it for a bit.
Cheers. Billy.

Many a tempered glass sun roof has shattered with an additional layer of tiny underneath... its a thermal thing

When I had my 90's windows tinted,the guy doing the job said something about the type of glass on the hatch and wouldn't do it,so take care. Tombie's idea could be the go.
