Barolo Black body with Firenze Red roof

Thanks for the comments peeps.

@Seb: I'll snag a few more photos today and post them later. Sun was setting so didn't get too many shots last night.
@Griff: I'm leaning towards painting mine too
@Aand: Yep, love the chuckiness. It'll be more chunky once the running boards are installed. Gotta get those painted first though.
@Bruno: Lol, I guess that's true. I had a Mini Clubman with a Red body and black roof so thought I'd flip it. ;p
@Neo: They did remove the spoiler completely to paint separate and rubber trims were removed for painting as well.
@J77: Yep! Style 4 19" wheels. Powdercoated black
@Kentboy: Do it! More red tops please ;p

Looks great! how hard is it to get bikes up there? are the racks shifted forward to avoid the boot door?

I attempted to install the bike racks forward facing but the boot was hitting up against the back end of the racks so I just flipped it and now the bikes are put on backwards. So technically there's now more room to push the whole roof back but I just haven't gotten around to adjusting the crossbars.

It is definitely a pain to put the bikes up there. I'm 5'9" and it's a stretch to put the bikes up without opening the door and stepping up on the inside sill of the door. That's why I purchased some running boards to make it a tad easier. I would have bought some sooner but the stock LR ones didn't look right so I had to wait and finally found some! Just gotta paint the aluminum to matte black.

Izzy if you could post some photos of your wheels that would be much appreciated.

Very nice - I didn't think I'd like it but you've done a great job!

I'm really liking the Style 4 wheels in black - that's the first set I've seen. I'd really like to see more pics of those too!

Here ya go(sorry for the crappy pics):

Thank you, they look good, I will definatley be getting mines done.

looks really snazzy Izzy
