Exterior Colour Combinations - What Looks Best?

Pure/Prestige only on this one as they look the same pretty much from the outside.
So whhich of these colour combinations look the best?

I have gloss black roof rails that will be transferred to the next car so I want them to be noticed lol. A panoramic roof will also be added.

Black body with a silver roof.
Silver body with a black roof.
Grey with a black roof.

I did mention the wrapping idea to cut the cost but the dealer said they had had one done with a Pano roof & you could notice the joins!

Or :-

No contrast roof but Barollo Black car?

Either way the bumpers will have the inserts coloured to copy a Dynamic.

I did think about colouring the front wing-fender/door trim pieces & tailgate finisher coloured in Firenze Red to offer a contrast a bit like the RED Edition of the RR Sport.

Silver and black would look good. Also, with the pure, you get gloss black waist band that might match your existing rails...

Prestige black body and silver roof. This looks better without the pano roof though...

So far then :-
2 x Silver + black roof & 1 x black + silver roof (no pano).

Dealers generally recon the pano roof is adviseable.

I am also mulling in my head Barollo Black with Firenze Red accents on front/rear bumpers (upside down U shapped trims), tailgate finisher & wing/door trim pieces.

My preference would be Barolo with Firenze accents - I think this would look stunning. I have seen the colourway on the RRS and thought it was a headturner if you are going for the sporty look.

Thanks for that, I had forgotten about that thread. I had thaught about the roof but can't get that factory done (yet), I guess that will be expensive afterwards. Does look very nice though, I wonder how the letters are done as surely once you remove them the glue wont stick or go back in the correct place. Still this is a question I can ask Nick @ Landrover.

RE: Exterior Colour Combinations - What Looks Best?

Hi Valeter, My personal favorite so far is Firenze with Black roof, Closely followed by Fuji with Black roof.
