Roof Rails - Black or Chrome

I'm planning to put roof rails on mine, mainly for show though I can see some real uses. Question is, black or silver?

I have a black panoramic roof so the immediate thought was black, but wondering whether they will get lost, so thinking about silver to provide a contrast.

Any thoughts, anyone?

Black to match your Dynamic trim.
If you had a Prestige then silver.
IMHO.

Agree! I've got silver ordered for my Prestige.

Yep, I will be going for the black rails when it arrives...for the proper stormtrooper look you will need the gloss black roof box as well

I was considering the silver for the Pure Fiji for some contrast. Agree black for Dynamic.

You buy the trim finishing kit separately in black or silver which replaces the two long strips on a car without panoramic roof or the four short pieces on a car with one and with a car with a black roof, I would obviously go for black trim finishers.

As for the rails themselves, keeping in mind I have silver car, there's a case for them being silver. The rails are nearly £400 so although I could try both, it's an expensive experiment!

Anybody able to photoshop a set onto a silver Coupe to save Mark £400?

If you add silver rails they could look like an roof rack atop a black roof Mark, my advice is to go black to blend them with the roof, for a more flowing seamless look as I think they will then look part of the car as opposed to perhaps looking like an aftermarket fit.

One other consideration....the addition of the rails will doubtless increase wind noise, so you may have a whistling sound to keep you company during your drives. I say this as my wife's last FL2 had them fitted and the noise was very intrusive & annoying...

For me its black rails for Dynamic and Chrome for Prestige or Pure
