I think there's still like 6 technically available, I think Jimmy is going with the approach there not secured until the money is paid.

Looking at it again, with the roof off. Does the coupe part have the roll bar built into it? So that you lay the rear seal over it (to keep water tight with roof on) and allows you to put a hardtop on in the same way (the rear kidney shaped points). Just trying to imagen this with just the coupe on really. Is there a big gap so all the roll bar is exposed or all neat and tidy like the OEM roll bar. Cheers

I'm not 100% with you there, lol, with just coupe rear on there isn't the same OEM look to the front edge but that's not to say that you can't add this edge yourself. Again the panel will be with bodyshops getting paint so this can be specified easilty enough but it's not something I've really considered.

are you supplying the fittings with them? or do we have to source these ourselves? i know you said with fully standard fixings but im not sure if you mean the fittings will fit into these fixing points or whether they come with them so its bolt on bolt of kinda thing.

The option 2 comes with all the hardtop fixings ready to go. Coupe part uses Aerocatches or race pins which are not supplied :)

haven't got any pics yet sorry Neil. Cliffie used race pins on his but these are transferrable with aerocatches. Only difference being that cliffie used a different top fixing. I've got a solution for a neater fixing but I've not got any bits to hand to measure/explain properly as all the bits are in Brighton.

Benefits the kit offers are far better engine cooling,


Not without removing the boot and cutting holes in the clam. Feeding air in from the scoop without giving it somwhere to exit will pressurise the region abover the engine and reduce/stop the flow from the ears and NACA ducts
