It very much depends on colour IMO.
Colours where they look good - Keswick green, Loire? Blue Meh - red, green, paler blue etc In my opinion look awful - silver, black, grey, Fuji White (whites don't match), Havana It also depends on spec I think, generally a 90 ht with white roof looks better than say an xs spec 110 sw But there are many exceptions However id always get body coloured roof as white symbolises 'base' spec to me Cheers, David Land Rovers of all shapes S3 onwards… Daily is a 110 V8. |

All a matter of choice I reckon.
The "white" roof on earlier Landrovers used to be a "creamy" colour called limstone, did it not?...I quite liked that, and I like the white roof on current Defenders,...sort of "traditional". We have chosen to have an Indus Silver roof with our new Keswick 90. Cheers, Pickles. |

Keswick green and limestone roof is a great combo, with limestone wolfs

Click image to enlarge my base model tamar blue with white roof. personally i like the retro look but i think the main colour has to be solid, not metallic, for it to work. i also think the black spats and grille work best with this option. |

When we bought our basic TD5, it had the black grille and light surrounds, which I have painted brunel grey and it has the black wheel arches, which I am going to colour code.
However the white roof I am leaving - I think it looks great with Cairns blue Large photo in my gallery. |

I think the white/limestone roofs look good - particularly on green Land Rovers. It would also help with keeping things cooler in the tropics too I should think! An easy option to avoid paint matches if you damage the roof with a tent or roofrack etc. Euro-Leafing to infinity and beyond.....

On certain colours it looks alright... But whenever I see one with a white roof, I think "farmer spec" An engine to TDi for!

Limestone is far too modern. Ivory white is where it is at Just need to find me a set of Wolf wheels and paint to match

Keswick green 90hardtop, white roof, white wolf wheels, MTR's. I've had lots of metallic Landys with coloured roofs and alloys etc but this is one combo I won't get bored of....it's classic. Sib

That is a thing of beauty. I now know what colour blue my 110 will be when it goes back together. Can't stand the blingy modern ones with coloured roofs, white or nothing! |
