Vinyl or no Vinyl Roof

[Martin]

Have just put my car in to be painted and was wondering what people thought about me removing the vinyl roof and painting the car all Signal Red. The roof is original, but is needing replaced as it is showing signs of its age and is wearing thin in places.

Also the car has a sunroof already.

looks lovely with it on

i'd either put a complete new roofskin on and paint it signal red or put another bvr on and cover the sunroof hole

but you do as you please

Bit late now I suppose, but I think I personally may well (knowing that the car was to be painted anyway) have had the roof re-skinned, and had a new vinyl roof put on.

A few years ago I probably would have said don't bother, but they're getting quite rare these days, so would keep that detail.

If you are keeping the sunroof keep the vinyl , if you want to lose the sunroof lose the vinyl as well ..

if that was mine I would keep the vinyl and fit a webasto as they look rather good on vinyls,

however if your going to lose the sunroof and reskin i would then paint it red

leave it off. you could always put more vinyl on at a later date, as you say, it needs new vinyl anyway. just make sure you keep hold of the little L shaped finishers off the end,can be hard to get hold of.
p.s. not long till the lakes tour you know.

So many different views

• Keep the BVR - 6
• Keep the BVR but lose Sunroof - 1
• Lose the BVR - 1
• Fit Webasto Sunroof and keep the BVR -2

Let's see what the finished paint job brings me
