my gypsy is used only for long lauling: tours of upto 10 days at a stretch. Could use the extra comfort! Also my photography equipment stays safer with a hard top: right now i always lug around my camera equipment when i stop at dhabas etc.

Once the HT is fitted, plan to get an AC and CarPuter setup as well!

Graphite Gray would go well with the base color.

I bought two bottle of russet brown aerosell paint for to paint over the hard top of my white Gypsy and a pair of Falcon fog lamp for Bumper in order to pesonalise my Gypsy a month ago. Now I am not sure.
In a way Gypsy in stock form looks good too...

A darker color would offset the blue very well. Functionally speaking though - which is how I would talk all the time of a car like a Gypsy - white is best in a sunbaked country like India. Interiors will heat up the least in a white top. Black would be terrible!

Hey COUGAR,
Here is a pic of the ICY blue color gypsy. It was posted by Parm in this thread http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/4x4-ve...ml#post1219861
Hope, this helps all of us.
