Nice
Very cool!!
At what cost , may I enquire???
Just shy of �800 from memory
So that’s only �200 shortish of the total fibreglass roof at the Eliseshop???
Seems a lot for marginal aesthetics IMHO
Smaller scoop (none OEM) on the EP roof and unpainted…
Got a new factory large scoop roof (not carbon) here if anyboby needs one.
unpainted and without seals. �700.00

To be fair mate, I’m sure he doesn’t give a shit what you think!
A lot of prep/paint work is involved to make the roof look OEM …
I think its a fair price …
You don’t get much paintshop time for little money these days.
Having seen Boothys roof done by CN,s…
Looks good to me
“Looks good to me.”
And me!
Agree - it’s what both S1 and S2 need IMHO and that looks well done.
Rather spend the money modding the oem part as the majority of after market parts don’t seem to be quite there yet.
Yeah, OEM parts are always the best for fit and finish.
Some of the after market panels are shocking!!
So let me get this right, the roof was a STD NA one and has had the scoop added to it, or it is a totally new roof?
Agreed looks good, if modded. I need some thing similar doing if that is the case.

They replace the outer skin with a full length scoop outer skin, retaining the original underside, seals etc.
What you want Gav is a lovely carbon fibre 260 cup roof:
Above is a picture of the one I bought from you, painted and fitted

Yeah as designer says, top skin removed and replaced with full scoop version and painted to match. Not much more to it than that! I wouldn’t have done it unless I was going to be entirely satisfied - which I am
I actually got a spare Exige S roof modded, and kept the original so that I can return the car to its original form in the future
The head lining on an NA roof does differ slightly from an S roof, but that doesn’t effect the top skin or air flow area.
no, what I want is just the scoop off a nice cup260 roof… Hatching a plan!
