I'll qualify that a little.

As with any hardtop you buy after buying your roadster you will need a fitting kit.

Aprrox £200 of bits.

the bloke selling it said the fixing kit will be included but i might have to swap the plastic panels with him

[markiii]

sounds good.

2 things though. if you swap panels you need to undo teh seat belts to take off the plastic. the nuts holding this in are use once only as they are saftey item.

So you'll need new nuts.

If you don't swap the plastics you can just cut yours to accept the brackets (easy enough) and you won't have to undo the seatbelts.

Bear in mind 03 plastics are charcoal, pre 02 were black so there will be a slight colour discrepancy it you swap.

oh right i will bare that in mind

i work for vauxhall motors in ellesmere port (manufacturer not dealer) so i should be able to get the nuts easy enough

i also have modified rear storage doors out of a 2001 model 2 which now you come to mention it do look a little darker even though it is late and dark out side
