Hi mate, I think a red roof will really suit your car being silver.
Actually even more so since you have red seats.

Can't wait till you get it done and post a few pics....
 
Thought this might be of interest to you. Found it on the forum somewhile ago and for my own preference I created a blue version of the red on a silver Z.

Hope it gives a feel for what it will look like in red....

and in navy blue

Couldn't agree more on both accounts. For me I think the navy is perhaps just that little bit safer but red/burgundy or call it what you will, also looks a pretty safe bet.
All you've got to do now Jonny is put up the pics then we'll know for sure!
 
I recon if I ever have to replace my hood I will go for the blue rather than black as I have black seats. Both colours look much more classy than the black imo.

Or perhaps a variety of tartans :poke:

Everyone's a critic - but you're right, tartans are patterns it only becomes a plaid when it's a garment... :roll:

But, as it happens, the more I look at that picture, the more I think Bing should have his roof like that....
 
I maybe the only one not being sure. If you had black seats I'd say yes to the red roof, not sure about red roof and red seats, its a little too much?

Silver is a bright colour and needs dark things to break it up, your wheels have dark areas and black roof works really well. The red seats add a nice contrast on the inside, black inside a silver car can often make things feel bland.
I have a trained eye on these things... I was nearly a car designer and had a job lined up with Ford, but took another direction in my career.
 
Red done end of. Before i got my z i wanted a red roof. Still do but sure i could spend the money on better things. Looking forward to it.
 
I love the merc's with the red roofs... the sickening thing though is that at £1k a piece of fabric represents around 1/5 the value of your car :o

Thanks for feedback, seems 99% of you guys like the idea of a coloured roof, red is a risk but with red leather interior and massive 6 pot red brake callipers in march i think will set it off a treat.....new red roof £1170 tho so be mindful before you fall in love with my posted pics :poke:

I think the red roof will look good especially when folded down so you see red at the back then the red from the seats - something different :thumbsup:

...the final mod project hits nearly 12k in March and that still leaves my engine swap etc so 1k is nothing in the mix of things...
