What 's the opinion on roof colour?

This is one combo where a real wood dash trim might actually work.

What is the rusty piece of metalwork beyond the DISA valve in the engine bay photo?

    I like the car colour and roof/ interior combo, like others have said, just needs a bloody good clean up. The wheels look like they are painted a funny colour around the rim, so maybe a refresh there. Also, I think the alu trim wrapped/ painted in piano gloss black would suit the interior.

    The beige roof would normally be a complete no no for me but it works really well with Merlot. I think part of the issue here is the interior is minging :sick2: a good clean up would work wonders. I do agree with a previous comment about the extended beige. Maybe break up the beigness a bit with some black trim from a breaker :thumbsup:

      I like merlot and I think the beige roof and seats really suit it :thumbsup:


      I’m very tempted to replace my black roof with a navy blue one to match the navy seats

      I think it will be smart over the silver body

      as for the " poor presentation wrong time of year " thoughts on why it's not sold :oops:

      Have you considered the car is getting on for 20yrs , looks shabby , a questionable colour scheme , ropey alloys , a 5 speed box & boot carpet that i can smell the damp from Lancs :cry:

      My eyes, my eyes!

      (Actually I think the roof goes ok with the burgundy, and it's a sharp price. But I've never seen the joy in a beige interior.)

      I really like Merlot on Z4s, and don't really like black interiors. So the beige interior works well for me, and the roof goes with that.

      How wrong could it possibly go? Those heated M-Sport seats are worth nearly 50% of the price!
