Who'd you use and how much would something like that cost to do?

my mate did it and only charged £100 but think due to the hours he put into it should have charged about £200-£300

Achaaaaaa...ok yaar...I don't have a hardtop YET but it's definitely something I'd consider doing...only with an mtec2 kitted facelift cab though.

the wiseman hardtops are available colour coded but dont really like them as they are too rounded and the car has more straight lines sold the blue one for £700 with retrimed roof line buy them in summer as this is when people dont want them

No, also 60/40, but s**** job, done on the cheap. Going to change it to Bilstein/Eibach shortly. The ride at the moment is terrible. Beautiful cars there! :D
