Soft top and conversion required

[Gavin mckenzie]

Hey folks where is the best place to buy the soft top conversion as well as the soft top for my new coupe v6 ?

Also is there a special tool needed for removing the hard top ?

Many Thanks in advance for any up to date info

Lotus themselves are currently out of stock and there are a few people on here wanting them so i think the first available batch will sell out pretty quickly.

After that its really a case of trawling forums and ebay for a second hand unit.

There is no special tool for the roof its just a standard security torx bit

Soft top just come up on the playground.

You will need these:

Good luck finding a soft top. Second hand, you can pay between £200-£500. New I think they are nearer £900, plus the giant wait.

 

The soft top conversion takes about 30 minutes and requires a drill, a sanding bit and some adhesive.

 

It really makes the V6 though. I have the coupe and with the roof off, it is an absolute pleasure.

Such a shame there is nowhere to store the hard top! As that would be perfect! Or a T Bar roof!

That's the one the thin spacer washer which is supposed to go behind the pocket

Works fine and the mounts sit perfectly
