Hood Colour Choice For My Brg Mk1

I need a new hood in the next few months, I can't decide whether I should go for a green or black mohair hood.

Either: http://www.mazda-mx5-shop.com/images/large/EHMPGREEN_LRG.jpg
or : http://www.mazda-mx5-shop.com/images/large/EHMPBLACK_LRG.jpg

My interior is dark/black, my instincts tell me I should go with black, but my strange side tells me to go with green.

Anyone have any better pictures of the green on green?

Im a firm believer in black. The car has nice lines that dont include a roof. Colouring the roof brings it in to play, and its a different shape car then. A shape i find uneventfull.
Green roof on a green car looks good IMHO, so go with your strange side mate


If I ever need to change mine in the future I'll probably be going for a dark blue mohair, just to make the car look a bit different (Mine's Twilight Blue, not BRG obviously).

I like the look personally, I feel it adds to the car and makes it look just that bit more special

ive got the green hood on my brg,
Thanks for the pictures guys. I've still not made a decision but I'll let you know as soon as I do (And my foot is broken right now so I can't do any driving anyway)

frogeyes: I don't have a tan interior and I'm planning on a green/chrome interior.
I've got a green mohair hood on my BRG... really happy with it, I think it blends in better than the black one did.

Russell.
Green on green here too,

Came like that from the factory, if Mazda thought it was a good idea how am I to argue

When the roof is down you can't see the colour, when it's up you can see it whether it's black red green brown blue etc, so I find your arguement rather odd.

Maybe you have coloured roof envy

Hi Chaps. I have a dark blue mk2 with a beige mohair hood and it looks great but whatever colour you choose go to Jack Smith in Swasea and they will make you one of any colour and fit it for ?260.00 all in!! I also had leather seats at the same time for ?250.00 great service. Give him a ring on 01792461022. Good luck.
