I'm also sure a black roof rail kit was available as an accessory kit on some markets but the only UK models I've seen the black rails fitted to is the last-in-the-line Torslanda, but even these rails are different from the original stainless steel kit.

Hope this helps! If anybody else has any further information let me know as I am also interested!
