[color:“orange”] I’m about to try to take the roof off my shiney new S2.
just before i balls it up, is there anyone out there who has successfully done this? …or indeed, anyone who has tried and failed?
ps. i am aware of the chassis rigidity issues and invalidating-warranty issues with taking off her top. It can’t be helped - top-less is always best! [/color]

Before you get all the flack from the roof on faithfull (most on here), two points :-

  1. It’s all in the handbook which the S2 shares with the 111R.

  2. The roof does not affect rigidity, as the chassis is a roofless design. Removal will affect high speed aerodynamics as the rear spoiler needs the roof to direct the airflow AFAIK.

(Best to keep roof off issues off this forum though )

It’s alright Tim, he’s too far away for us to get him!

Enjoy your roofless Elise driving gussi!
