Contrast Black Roof Problems

A friend of mine has ordered a vehicle with a contrast black roof but has been told that the factory are having issues and at the moment black roof isn't an option on the vogue or sport. Has anybody else heard this? MY16 (65) RRS, HSE, White, 21" 507s, Pan/Black Roof, 7 Seats, Ebony/Cirrus, Surround Cams, Fully Color Coded

I have the same problem at the moment, so my dealer have come back and told me that when the car arrives they are going to spray the roof black themselves. Not the best of scenarios, but I really want the black contrast roof. 2010 RR 5.0 Autobiography

What is the dealer charging you for that? I can imagine a roof isn't easy to paint properly, especially if there is a pan roof. MY16 (65) RRS, HSE, White, 21" 507s, Pan/Black Roof, 7 Seats, Ebony/Cirrus, Surround Cams, Fully Color Coded

I ordered the car with a black roof and they are now saying that there is a problem and so if it doesn't come black that they will spray it themselves. 2010 RR 5.0 Autobiography

They shouldn't be charging anything as its LR's fault.If they were wanting to charge i'd tell them to cancel order,,they will soon change their mind.

Another thing will be that your car’s spec will not show this as an OEM extra in Topix so basically you are doing a valueless after-market modification............ 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Looking at the state of some of the dealership paint jobs I wouldn’t be trusting them to paint a roof on a brand new car! Pan roofs to be removed, masking up, overspray, dust everywhere from rubbing it down! Whistle

The other option would be to get it wrapped gloss black as you only need the 2 sides,rear spoiler & a bit at the front of the roof.That is if you have the pan roof.

I have to agree with Andy, when the dealer resprayed my roof, it was overspray everywhere, badly masked off areas and lots and lots of claybar time removing it

all because someone damaged the roof prior to me collecting

Beware - your insurer may class this as a modification and bump up your premium significantly. RRS MY17 SDV6 AB

All of the above stated are my worries too, a wrap might be the best way to go!! We will have to just Wait and see if it comes painted or not. 2010 RR 5.0 Autobiography

What on Earth is wrong with Land Rover? They used to offer the contrast roofs in a variety of colours. Since the introduction of the MY18 vehicle this was reduced to one colour (black) and they can’t even get that right! How hard can it be? This isn’t anything new... they’ve been doing it for years!
