I've scoured the internet for a picture of a Rhodium Silver F-Type with the optional grey top, but have been unable to find one. Anyone have one they can take a picture of or a link? Thanks.
Not the greatest photos but I found these. I like it but would be afraid to get the gray top because I am sure it will look dirty and show crease lines after a while even after cleaning. I have a black top and it does get dirty, but because it is black, it hides a lot of sins after using a top cleaner, which I know are still there. It would be interesting to hear comments from anyone owning the lighter tops and how well they hold up.

On the contrary, I owned at least a dozen convertibles, and the gray top on my F-Type is the easiest ever. Black is the worst at looking dirty, and most of my other convertibles have been black.
Much like light silver cars, it's the best at not appearing dirty, and in 15 months, all I've had to do is hose it off, and let it dry. There's been no need for any cleaning products, and they slowly but surely wear away the factory stain and water protection treatment on the top.
After 15 months, mine still beads water, and it looks absolutely brand new with no crease lines. I have it up and down all the time.
This combo was on my shortlist and saved in the Confugurator- I could't find a pictue anywhere either, which is kinda cool. I specced it with Camel interior.
I think it looks really cool, the silver really highlights the car's lines. That said, I would like to see the new Ammonite in the flesh...
The 'other arf' said that it was too olde fashioned, and we ended up with IRR!

Good to know the gray top holds up well on the F-Type. I have seen this color on other cars and they looked pretty dingy with dirt in the creases after a little age. I used a top cleaner once because somehow I acquired an abundance of tree sap that would not come off any other way. I usually either rinse it off it or gently remove dust and debris with a lint roller. My top has held up great and still looks like new as well. Quality was one of my concerns prior to getting the car and it has really become a non-issue after almost a year with it.
Sure . . . however, virtually all my good photos are top down. This one is recent. This car sat outside on a dealer lot for 7 months, and I've had it for 16 months.
