Redo the interior in white or red/white and use the white hardtop all the way...
Bird is the word..... Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin to slit throats. H. L. Mencken US editor (1880 - 1956)
When I bought the WW HT for my TVB Bird, the TVB top got relegated to a dusty corner in the garage, it never made it back on the car. The two-tone look is much more classic than monotone IMHO, it's what I like best for my car. I sold the TVB HT the following year and have never regretted selling it. The HT is going back on the car in the next few days, looking forward to that classic look again.
I'd say that the three tops had very different uses. The red is the most formal of the the three... and I do like the overall look quite a lot. It's very "together.". Good for showing up for somebody's wedding, say. The white is far more sporty in effect. It's jazzy. I'd be great for a Sunday drive. The black soft top would be cool for Saturday afternoon. You might want it up.... or down... depending... on the weather.... or the area you were driving through. Either way would work.. depending. You know. (I always did like black soft tops, over brown. Oh, I don't mean, the one on top of the other... never mind.)
I've always favored a two-tone (could you guess). LOVE the look of a white top with whitewalls, on ANY color bird, and especially like the Vogues. Those wheels are pretty special, too. Stay with the white HT, the contrast is great.
