Hood colour on Anthracite TF was created by G0RSQ

Posted 9 years 10 months ago #148342
Just getting my Anthracite MG TF back on the road and it needs a new hood.
Cant decide which colour, Burgandy, Grey, or Beige (or another colour!)
Does anyone have any pictures of an anthracite TF with a coloured hood on it, so I can see what the effect might be.

My wife wants a red hood, but I think Burgandy might be a little too dark for the car.
Thanks

I think you should listen to the missus on this one.
You're worried about burgundy being too dark, but grey will make the whole thing seem darker still!
In fact, I'd say a burgundy top will give the car a richness to overcome the greyness of the car and it's even greyer surroundings.
I think a beige top would look awful against the dark grey of the body, because it would give the optical illusion of to top being too big.

Thanks
Will have to get my wife's approval!!!
(She thinks it is her TF, but can't drive!!)
Any idea what a lighter hood would look like?
Noted that it might make hood look larger.
Thinking of light grey from mazdahoods.

Burgundy does look smart though :-)

As Cobber says, whatever senior management says is the colour to go for :whistle:

Personally, I like the burgundy. Looks smart.
