May sound dumb but.. With this only being flocked on the inside.. Would it give more headroom than a standard hardtop? (Which I take it is padded thicker?) I can fit in with soft top but hard top my head touches a bit!

Might be Marginally more headroom than a lined roof as the flicking fibres are 1mm long Soft tops do give marginally more headroom anyway.

I cut back the hard top inner moulding on mine which gives more headroom (guessing at 15-20 mm.  I'm happy to lend this to JB if he has demand for it but it isn't suitable for pre-preg moulding.  Best you could get would be infusion.

Would be good if the carbon one did give more room. Will see how I get on once I get the car. I want to lower the seat if possible too
