I'd wrap the roof and leave the number plate area as it is.

Was considering doing my roof black also.

Seen a picture on the German forum of someone doing the license plate bit.
It is not really my taste, I must say, and it looked quite a lot like the "single frame grills" that recent Audis have.

From the front, I think it would look too much like Hitler  ???

Go for it!

I'm getting the little bit of roof behind the Skydome painted black for this very reason :)

The black roof would look better if the roof panel was the same width as the windscreen.

What you want is some nice leatherette vinyl, perhaps in brown and do the pillars, after all retro is cool, we're told, you might start a new trend.  ;D

Roof looks alright going by the photoshop, not so sure about the plate region, reminds me of a CRZ.
