We have the opportunity to acquire the original moulds for the coupe parts as shown below on Cliffie's car. Purchase cost is very high so to offset this we would possibly look to sell a strictly limited number of these to the forum. We're thinking 10 cars only,

If these were sensibly priced who would honestly be interested....?

I would but naturally detail and info is what I'm after. No guide on the price? Gonna be tricky gauging interest without.

I'd be interested, but as goose says, a rough idea of price would be good. Thanks Chris

We'll get there Goose just don't want to put too much work into it if nobody is interested. Watch this space for more details.

Presumably its a grp not cf build? Boot access lost? Ability to run a soft top if wanted?

Realise it is difficult at this stage to plan as to whether such a conversion would be a permanent or removable, but naturally, a removable version would be a better seller.. Price wise (apologies in advance for the speculation) I'll stick my neck out and say its prob got to be minimum £1k unpainted for something like this..

Not to bad for something that can also replace a 500 pound hardtop.

OK, These will fit a standard car and is completely reversible. You will need to remove the roll bar cover. Both parts on my car weigh less than the roll bar cover. Boot access is still retained. Brings the rear aero alive.

Is the hard top section still removable whilst leaving the coupe back on for the two sunny days we get a year?

Yes it will be.

Panels would be supplied as skins only and buyer would need to detail their own fittings.

Will make a wing far more effective but the fast back will actually produce lift without one.
