Think it's got to be black. The grey seems to look as if it's just been sun faded from black and unintentionally ages what's a lovely looking car.
 
red :grin: :thumb:
 
:yuk: That 'grey' looks like faded black.

My boss had a red roof on his white car, think the contrast looked 8) especially if you lived in the UAE :grin:

I'd go Blue or Red :mechanic:

Black. I speak with authority. I own the identical car to you, but with the correct black roof, which looks great as it has a new one as some kind soul decided to slash the roof and key the car about a year ago.......

Had mine cleaned yesterday, looks way way to good and already classic, while still being modern. 997 looks don't seem to age, unlike a 996 which for looks awful and dated!

with a new hood at £1800 wish plus vat and fitting

may be an idea to dye your current hood black,

there are dyes out there formulated for dyeing hoods, probably need to speak to a reputable trimmer or detailer and they should be able to do it for you

Sound advice Mark - I've seen it done professionally with good results.
 
dye it a dark red the black red or white red combo is very upto date and will lift the car big time I see lots of 991 with those colour combos.
black on black is classic, but not very interesting .
