E85 3.0 Z4 Roadster Project

Not for me.

 

[Rob]

Hmmmm. I quite liked it

 

[Jay_G]

Soft top mate. The boot looks too long for it, and the back edge is too sharp.

 

[JoeyD]

It cheapens it somehow... Maybe if it were black?

 

[Hixle]

Why not? Useful in the winter, prevents motor failures etc and makes the cabin a nicer place to be.

Hardtop looks spacky.

'Zakly.

The lines don't look right. Looks like the same bloke who designed the 200's headlight fit made it.

 

[Tunst]

Have to agree... Mayb even a dark grey/anthracite?

 

[Rob]

There's a picture earlier on of one looking badman, grey hardtop grey wheels, but I do agree, it's a bit... big pimping.. and not really what I'm going for.

The hardtop is just really good for the car in the winter, it improves the cabin, negates any possibility of water ingress into the the motor whilst not being used and makes it a lot more winter friendly in general.

Buying the hard top is like buying recaros on here, they're an investment you'll always get your money back on as long as it's not damaged.

 

[Scrooge]

Hard top is actual waff.

 

[Rob]

I think it looks alright TBH, another picture:

Or on my wheels:

Looks ALOT better there IMO

 

[Waitey]

No it doesn't.

Looks awful.

 

[Eddie.]

I like it, looks very "hot rod".

Which is only a good thing, just get one, and if in spring you decide you won't use it for 6 months and you want to release the money from it, then sell it.

If not, keep it for the winter months.

 

[Hixle]

Yep, looks silly. Soz Bob.

 

[Waitey]

It looks like I made it.

And I ain't no good at making hardtops....

 

[Jay_G]

Bloody hairdressers the lot of you

 

[Scrooge]

It just doesn't work. Ruins an otherwise nice edgy car by putting something all rounded and horrible on it.

Looks swollen like its been hit on the head or something.

Empty your bloody PMs

 

[Scrooge]

One sec lol

 

[Rob]

How's your clio doing? Masculine car right there.

I can't believe there's so much hardtop hate. I'll probably buy one anyone just to spite you all.

Your the ones buying it, so you tell me!

And you know what car I'm getting next anyway! I actually liked the 2nd/3rd pic

 

[Rob]

I don't know what you're buying next? We've never met? lol!

 

[Jay_G]

I don't know what you're buying next? We've never met? lol!

I know, you told me to buy a Z4M ages ago? And I was pming you a little while ago talking about it/yours

 

[Rob]

My memory is waff, sorry.

Good choice though. I want this hard top, I just needed the moral support to stump up the funds.

 

[Scrooge]

It's s**t...don't bother....fix your car first...blah blah blah

Enough moral support? Lol

 

[Rob]

Yeah, thanks

I want to get those wheels on though, like sharpish. When can we paint? You love painting.

 

[Scrooge]

As soon as mate. Get paint etc and I'll get started. Getting in a tin and get thinnners and I'll use the compressor.

 

[Rob]

Really? Compressor? So buy paint in a tin and primer and lacquer? Always wanted to use a gun.

 

[Scrooge]

Yer, you can't paint for toffee though lol you can practice on something else not the wheels

 

[Tim.]

How easy does the hard top go on and off? And where do you store it when off?

If it improves the cabin for you when you're driving it then get it bought, who cares if everyone else thinks it's a bubble-car wannabe.

 

[Rob]

I reject that statement, my painting has always gone just fine! You may dispute my techniques but my results are fine

Isn't buying everything in tin form going to cost me a fortune?

Very easy, two clips basically.

You can buy stands for them, but this one doesn't happen to come with it. So I'll make one out of some timber and foam pipe covers in my garage.

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

My Uncle has a hard-top on his 4 dude... if you want to take a look-see at one before you buy one !?

I think you need a anth one to match the (when they're painted) multi-spoke wheels !

Looks naff in bright silver with everything else bright silver though.

 

[Laura]

no no no no no no no no .... no!

you do not need it!!!

 

[Rob]

LOL! Why the hate Laura?

Rob, I may take a look if that's cool?

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

I'm sure we can sort something out .. maybe the weekend so it's light ?!

 

[Scrooge]

All in tin is cheaper.

 

[Laura]

they look like aids and serve no purpose

 

[Waitey]

Anth ones look awful too.

People here have no taste.

It looks like a 2nd thought add on, which it essentially is.

 

[Rob]

Well obviously, it's a hard top that bolts onto a soft top car.... doi

Ant, I'll look into the paint now then.

 

[Waitey]

Right if you buy one I'll drive down to where ever you live and slap you.

That is a promise.

 

[Tunst]

More i look at it the worse it looks... Dont do it
