Just arrived at Cosmic Campers for my Storm poptop, and I totally missed that the quote said Gloss Black and not white... My fault entirely for not checking.

They are going to try and get a white one, but I'm driving back to Germany on Friday so doesn't look promising.

That said, I am going for the swamper look on my t6.1, which is Candy White. I have alot of blacked out parts, wheel arches, front lights.etc.

I think aesthetically, black will look better. But I'm worried about them fading and getting too hot in the sun. They said honestly they haven't seen any black ones fading, as Storms are made better, fading usually occurs on more cheaper prepared poptops.

Should I go for the black? Or try to get the white one.

Was also going to keep the roof bars, but don't think I will if I go black.

S'pose you could get a black one wrapped or painted later on?

And yes, aesthetically I'd go for black.

Can't see the colour of the poptop making much difference. The heat will come in through the canvas / vinyl tent part.
