Correct. The roof creates a lot less drag than roofless (a very large amount tbh) however I do like driving on track with roof off so its horses for courses really.

I've got the OEM silver hardtop fitted on my silver VX if you're interested.
I live near lakeside shopping center.
IMO, I think the car looks fab with the hardtop on
I might be going to the Ogle meet in Billericay tomorrow if you're able to come to that?

A couple of design changes needed to the CF one which will bring the weight up 200g but will sort the final issues.
Will be ahppy soon.

I think the gullwing WILL happen but the level of development still needed means it wont be ready this year 
I'm still working on it (its on my car as I type) so I'll keep you posted.

Taking orders now
I'm happy with the finished article after a few changes so will go in the shop when I can sort pictures (next week).
In the meantime give me a call (01494 730 720) and I'll take a £250 deposit and sort you a roof
