E85 Hardtop in Titanium Silver

[Ala5dair]

I am selling the hardtop for my E85 as I’m a fair-weather zedder and the car is garaged over the winter.
The hardtop is in Titanium Silver, and it is intact with both side panels and roof covers, and comes with a storage bag.

There are 2 issues, which were with the top when I bought the car (see photo’s)
1. The rear screen has a stone ship on the lower edge to the left of centre. I have epoxied it, and it’s secure.
2. There is a 3cm scratch on the roof edge close to the LH B pillar. It has been touched up, but not brilliantly.

Due to the damage, I’m looking for £600 and it’s available now. Collection only from Droitwich Spa, please.

Bump.
Three months and 275 views later, with no comments, I guess either the price or the damage is putting people off.
I’d like to say that I’ve focussed on the damage to try to be really honest, but it’s really not bad once it’s on the car. That said, I’m prepared to reduce the price to £500 to get the space back in my garage. No further reductions possible as I believe this revere sends excellent value for money.
Alternatively, if anyone has any comments on how to repair the damage, I’d be interested to hear them, especially as I’m furloughed and have time (but not necessarily the required materials) on hand....
BTW, I’ve amended the original listing to show the correct colour name - Titanium Silver.

I think the reason you haven't sold is entirely down to the damage. The scratch is a bad one and would need repairing and painting although in a lot of cases would need painting anyway unless you have a silver Zed and even if someone with a silver Zed wanted it they would still need to repair it. Putting that aside it does have damage to the glass which I'm not sure how to get around. £500 is a much better price and you may get a few sniffs from those that can live with the damage. I wouldn't be able to live with it though

I would have said the opposite, the scratch is the easy one. Many potential buyers will be thinking about a re-spray anyway.
The glass AFAIK cannot be replaced. You'd have to go down a perspex route or similar to replace. This is the part that would worry me.

£500 is a fair price IMO. If you don't get any luck on here then drop it on Facebook market place or ebay.

Thanks, Lynchy and kis for your comments. I get that most people in this forum would want to paint the top, either to match their vehicle, or to get the desired quality, hence my reluctance to spend time and money on repairing it. I didn’t appreciate, however, that the glass damage was irreparable; I understand how this might put people off but hope that the more realistic price will generate some interest, even if any transaction is delayed due to the current terrible situation....

I think £500 is a good price and a well placed Z4Forum sticker should hide the damaged glass

Anyone take a stab at the cost to respray to match another colour? Love the sticker comment btw

I think about about £300- £400.

The sticker is a great idea. Given that the damage is to one side, I might buy a pair (and one one for the soft top)....
