GD Tonneau, Colour?

I've decided that i'm fed up waving goodbye to the Cob to go to work each morning, unable to drive it as it *may* rain during the day.

GD have given me a standard, "take a deep breath and reach deep in your pockets", type of quote and all i need is to decide on the colour.

Apparently they do Black, Blue and Tan.

Anyone have any Pics of a GD with the aforementioned tonneau fitted, and what colour do you think would fit best. I'm dithering between Tan or Black...

(Car is darkish blue)

Re: GD Tonneau, Colour?

Hmm

Had a black hood and tonneau with a dark blue Spitfire, looked ok, but i thought a fawn Hood & Tonneau would be better with a darker car.

(I'm pretty sure blue on a blue car would look odd)

Re: GD Tonneau, Colour?

When I first read this post 5 mins ago, I was adament it had to be black. But I saw a picture of a Blue Pilgrim with a Blue hood a while ago and it did seem to look right

Re: GD Tonneau, Colour?

Hoods are a different thing.
Tonneaus should be black, blue I could start to think about but TAN.........yuk!
