Not a vinyl roof fan. Winter far too harsh here for long term good looks.

Without. I've never liked vinyl roofs; they seem to me to be an unnecessary affectation. The car is gorgeous without it.

I also tend to dislike vinyl roofs, often used to give a fake "upmarket" air to common-or-garden cars. But looking at the pic above, I have to admit it does give this car a nice formal look, and the plain blue car looks kind of "stripped down" and bare without it.

I guess it's a bit like conti spare kits or rear wheel spats. Sometimes they enhance the look of a particular car, and sometimes they don't.

I voted tie because to me it all depends on the body color choice.

Love the Mark III, but the absence of the vinyl roof does not do the car justice.  The formal roof line screams out for the vinyl roof. One would suspect the owner "cheaped out" just to save a few bucks.

I may be proven wrong but the vinyl delete option didn't save any money. It was actually more expensive to do them w/o the rook as the roof hid some of the weld lines.

WITHOUT, please.  A vinyl roof does make a car more luxurious but, a true luxury cars does not need vinyl to look luxurious.  I don't care for luxury cars any way, so if no vinyl looks cheaper I prefer it [what logic].  Would the word for the full luxury/vinyl topped car be opulent.

May I echo these words!
