Mine's being painted with the inside of the gutters as roof colour, the outside body colour. Previously the whole roof and gutters are white and it does look a bit weird.

Old.

Unfortunately I don't have any pictures of the new black roof yet. I have to see it myself first!

Most that I have seen are roof colour to the insides of the gutter, main or lower colour on the outsides of the gutter.

Doesn't look so flash on a classic mini (IMHO). Looks like you changed your mind, or have primer on the rust repairs.... :lol:

I just received my first 'after' picture from the panelbeater. Pretty happy with the way it turned out!

I have always quite liked this style for something a bit different, not necessarily these colours. It was a south african thing I think.

I was thinking of this type of 2 tone in black on top and a really dark grey on the bottom , like the new countryman , black rims...
