I'm looking into getting a carbon fibre hardtop. Have any of you had one? I'm wondering where to get one from also? Any recommendations.

 

I'm going to slowly change out interior and exterior as much as possible to carbon fibre as i can.

I can do a cf hardtop I already have one for the s2 Elise. The slight complication is that they are quite expensive at £1000 including the underside in a flock finish. Very nice though!

Yeah I do one already for the elise and can knock up an autoclaveable mold pretty quick for the vx. Can post to OZ we send elise roofs there now and again no problem. If Maybe a couple of people are interested in a cf roof I can get a small run done. Will post some pics of the elise one later

They are pretty much the best quality weave/finish I've seen. Got a top team on the case!
