(G) Hardtop

Looks really nice!

I have seen Hardtops going from £400 pounds up to £750 on ebay,
I managed to get mine for £500

I have made an offer on that hard top, it has been accepted. I will take some pics tomorrow!

I'm very pleased

Cool!

Once you have it, just be careful when installing it, as there can be a tendency to brake the flaps were the softtop mechanisms are hidden. Thats if yr's are still in tact anyway.

Yr know the bits i mean when you attempt to install. Its were the spikes will want to sit.

All the best, look forward to seeing the pics..

Thanks for the advice KC, I only have one cover

Here's a couple of pics, I'm not sure if I should spray it body coloured or gloss black!?

Any guesses on how much I paid?

I would spray it silver to match the rest of the car . as for the price i take it you got a bargain . you will find the hardtop is great during the winter if you stay within the legal speed limit .

I think I got a good deal, bearing in mind I only offered the most I could afford.

I like the idea of it being silver from seeing KC's pics but it would be a nice contrast painted black....

I am actually looking forward to the winter now! Er....what is the legal limit again...

I always wondered how the black hardtop may sit over the silver.

Looks ok but silver on silver will look better.

I always have people comment how good the B looks with the hardtop on,
makes her look and feel more sporty.

I think leave it matt black, it looks great.

That didn't come from somewhere near Brighton did it? I nearly got a matt black one from near there a while back and could have got it for about £200 but didn't hear back from the guy who was selling it.

No, this was sitting in someone's garage quite near me. The price was the same though.

A real bargain, well done.

How does it fit with yr windows, are they snug or need adjusting?

Ooh, jammy b*****d!

Well done on getting a bargain. I'm very interested in getting a hardtop, if I can get one for the winter I'm seriously considering selling my Golf and keeping the B as my daily driver. I've now got 3 cars and it's all getting a bit silly - time to thin down the fleet a little..

Cheers,

Plug

Thanks guys, it fits the car pretty well the only issues being a rattle behind passenger headrest.

I need to adjust the windows a little but the fit is almost spot on.

I am very pleased!

I think colour matched looks great.

The covers you mentioned are £50+ form Fiat. NOt a cheap buy.

Does the rear demister work ok or do you need to get it sorted in the fuse box?

The demister works perfectly, it was a plug and play affair

I really like the look of KC's car being colour coded, but I think I will keep it as matt black for a while or at least until my friend can spray it for me.

I have found that I need to make a few adjustments, there are a couple of grub screws that need to be adjusted in the pillars behind the seats and hopefully that will cure the rattle.
Do the locating spikes have any rubber covering them usually?
