Hello to everyone, im new to the game and the forum
Iv been sitting on a '72 convertible with no top for 2 months waiting for my license (and funds) to come back. Iv just gotten a quote for a new roof and im trying to get an opinion of some good colour choices.
The car is british racing green and im looking for colours for both the interior and new roof, some ideas iv had are wine red roof and interior (which iv seen on some BMW convertibles), beige roof and interior or just black
Any suggestions?

I like the MX5 colours of
Body BRG
Roof - black
interior - light tan (cant bring myself to say beige)

the deeper brown doesnt lift the car - but light tan will show the dirt

Oh - and welcome

Futue te ipsum!!!

The beige interior will look good but it get dirty REAL quick. Same with the roof. Go for black with the roof and maybe some beige seat covers. That way you can take them off and wash/dry clean them. Go the same colour for the door cards and even carpet as well.

Thank you for the Welcome 😀
Yeah i get the feeling that black or any darker colour will make it abit bland. The black and light tan does sound good, iv got the standard tan interior atm. It needs replacing so i thought why not see if another colour will suit
