I got Autovogue to mail me details of the hardtop including pictures and scope of supply. It feels slightly risky being the ginea pig but they know more orders may follow if this one goes smoothly. Delivery is stated as 6 weeks which is better than previously quoted.

I have visions of a german guy dusting off the moulds and asking for manufacturing instructions to be retrieved from the archive:-|

Have Autovogue quoted any painting costs? so whats the cost all in including fitting?

There is a picture here of a silver car with a grey hardtop

I think it needs to be a darker grey than that.

Deano, The pic in your link looks great...You did notice it had the "other" Hamann rood...the one which is plain / flat on top. I hope youve specified the "roll hoop" version from autovogue... :wink:

I really want one of these hardtops. I've tried to contact Hamann directly but get nothing back from them.
So if someone manages to get hold of one of these hardtops, i'd be very interested to hear the story, or if you manage to get hold of anyone who sells them.

This adds fuel to my desire :-)

your right sir.

im selling my hardtop as I've got a new soft top.

The hamann top is nice but expensive unless you use it all year.

leaving a hardtop on for long periods will damage your soft top.

Ive found that out the hard way.

I'm afraid I'm on the same page as Mozza but then I suppose there will always be divided opinions and those who wish to look a little different from the masses.... I think it's fair to say Deano's Zed has definitely broke the mould....

To be honest I'm with you on the what's the point comment. I always took that view with the standard top. The hamann version gives me the horn though. I don't plan to fit it all the time. Far from it. When it's not fitted it will be hanging on the lounge wall :grin:

If I fitted one it would stay on permanently, don't think I would ever go for another soft top car again :?

Autovogue just let me know the order is now placed with Hamann and delivery is 6 weeks. Thats good news - I was concerned when the chips were down there may have been a snag there. So we are properly off, payment made and taken, and order placed :)

The hardtop needs spraying before fitting so it seems getting Autovogue to fit is not worth it. They want monies to fit too so I will leave that. A post I found on bimmerforums had a link to the fitting instructions. The rear window is glued in place after spraying so it needs it needs a fair bit of work before it is ready to be fitted.

I think not. You could always turn up with it on then remove it and we could arrange for it to be centre stage on a podium in a display room and by the sounds of it members will pay good money to walk around and admire it :D

I'm watching with interest how quickly Autovogue process the order, I'm not holding my breath as they don't seem interested in returning phone calls etc. Hopefully I will be proved wrong.
