Looking at the two pictures I think your car looks better with the windscreen in red.

Personally I prefer the black windscreen surround, particularly with a black hardtop :)

Eventually, I used a BMW black working on the premiss that as long as I knew what it was I could always touch it up. If I were to go for a MG colour I'd go for the 75th Anniversary black (think that's the only solid black that MG did), since it wouldn't make any sense to paint the windscreen surround one colour and the rest of the car another colour. If it's a black hardtop that you have, they are not painted - it's black gelcoat.

Great looking car and colour combo - love the wheels and matching black front splitter which looks better than a boot spoiler- how well does that work?
