As you may have noticed there are cars on the road that come with white roofs as pictured below:

*Anyone done this to their EP3? If so post up pics please. Thanks in advance. Doesnt matter what color your EP3 is, as long as the roof is white id like pics. Btw if for those of you who havent painted your roof white, what do you think of white roofs on cars that aren't white? (need some feedback)

uh.. they don't paint them white, they come stock like that.

Mini's have been doing that since they first came into production.

Usually i see peeps with white cars paint their roofs black. So far ive seen some Mercedes that are white come with black roofs.

never seen an ep3 with an white painted roof, aside from white ep3s. Dont think i would do it if i had the option, but i might consider the whole checkered roof.

there really isn't a nice fine line to make a cut and change the color to white.

1. Thanks for the input, hmmm what about different colored side mirrors? The checkered roof sounds dope, or what about the UK flag roof yay/nay? :mcool:

2. I dont quite understand what you mean. :mredface::mbiggrin: Do you mean body line or you mean not a good idea...what? Thanks for the input

There's no obvious line, such as trim, around the edge of the roof just below the top to demark the roof area. Having said that there are those two runnels at either side of the top of the EP's roof, so the area in between could be painted as a wide stripe. That might work...

1. Different strokes for different folks right? :mbiggrin:

2. Okay i see what your saying, but yep i was thinking the area in between the runners could be white. :)

I'm not feeling the white roof on the EP idea. The Mini's and FJ's roof is more rounded on the corners so it don't look that bad.
