Just looks a little um, unfinished to me. Ok so it gives some extra head room but that's about it. I don't tend to look up when I'm driving and normally can see traffic lights as wouldn't park under them. Has this been tested at high speeds also? I can see its shape making some annoying sounds as its not the most aerodynamic looking thing. Not owning a hard top,and given the choice. I'd rather buy a jonnyboy one for the same money, than this. Then again, hats off to you for designing and actually making this. Wouldn't know where to start myself. Get to work on a clear fast back please.

Lol. Im not hes asked for peoples opinions before he starts manufacturing them and ive given mine. I wouldnt fancy a clear roof even if it was perfect but realise others might. I find it hard to believe that any body would be happy with that model. Good luck to paul and i think he started this because he wanted a clear roof not to sell so if hes happy then its all good.

Would you buy it Kal ???? If not why?


Constructive critism is better than just saying it's crap ;)/>


Quicker to just say it is tho...

My 2p I think Paul is a victim of his premature success......the one we saw first a few months back made me open my eyes That one makes me wish for some blinkers lol And I really can't see the point in a non storable targa version.

Yes, with me in Pauls car going around Bruntingthorpe so speeds upto arond 125mph ;)

It also curves like the shape of the hard top too! Just can't see it in the pictures ;)

It was work in progress, the must be a good reason why the design has gone the way it has. No doubt Paul will tell us about it.

Do you think a sliver version with Mclaren styling would have the edge on you though? ;)

You may have returned to the easel too many times here. I'm sure this looked ace a few months ago?


Exactly this.


I was quite excited about seeing a finished product, but that seems to be a leap backwards in design. It's not for me now
