Anyway finally got around to getting a hardtop, just in time for summer lol! Plan on keeping it black for a few more weeks until the spring/summer weather warms up and then get it sprayed alpine white ready for next winter!!

Anybody had theirs sprayed before? Any tips?

I assume the lining just unclips once all fixings are undone? Would the glass or rubbers etc need removing?
Any advice welcome :)

Oh and obligatory photos :fuelfire:

didn't jeremy clarkson say that too? :popcorn:

my dad (the voice of reason and all things wise :roll:) doesn't understand my logic in wanting to have both a coupe and a roadie when I already have a roadie with a hardtop.
I have my reasons but ultimately I suppose its just a 'want' thing... :tumbleweed:
