I thought the hardtop looked nice, but everyone has there own tastes. Use to have a M3 e46 convertible with a hardtop and it was like having to cars. In the winter your car turns into a coupe and in the summer a roadster, best of both worlds.
Have to say it was a lovely experience having the car at the show. Also my son loved telling his mates his dad's car was at AUTOSPORT show
