Wrapping 335i. Leave roof black or not?

I have a metallic black 335 coupe.
Seriously thinking about wrapping it grey as close to nardo grey as possible.

Only thing I can't decide is whether to leave the roof black or not..
Any input and thoughts appreciated..

I would try it. I think black roofs look best on lighter colored cars for some contrast, but Nardo is such a cool color that it's worth trying.

Thanks for the input guys!

Yes, I guess it couldn't go totally wrong by leaving the roof black..

And I'm also leaning towards leaving the side mirrors black, think it will look good.

Gloss black would look good... But gloss cf wrap may look better, especially if you do your mirrors too!

Black roof and black mirrors would look unreal with Nardo grey! Looking forward to seeing the end result of this!

Man, I really like the color of this car. It looks like it goes from teal to blue. I'm sure that is probably just the lighting and the photo. Or is it one of those chameleon films. What film is it?
