you will find them on ebay now and again, but you have to watch it as the newer vx's well on n/a's anyway they have different fixing brackets to get the hardtop to actually fit. these brackets can be changed out tho. just hit and miss whether you get one that fits, unless you ask the seller the year of their vx and whether it fit ok.

Hi guys, I am also a new proud owner of a VX220 Turbo in Calypso Red. Anyone have a hardtop for sale in this colour or know where I can get one? Is Thorney Motorsport the best place?

Contacted TMS - they have lost their supplier and dont have a new one lined up so no go there. No one else seems to do them. Gutted.

rather than spamming poor muncher with pm's can someone post on here how much he sells them for inc and excluding paint etc? Dont want to tread on anyones toes with this request but if TMS is no longer providing them then is this ok?

From http://www.type116.c...topic.php?t=424

Brand new, £495 bare shell with all trim and fittings.

An additional £135 to have it painted in your choice of colour.

So you can get a brand new hard top painted the right colour for £630 and yet most people try to sell them for £550 second hand! :blink:

I have a Muncher hardtop - fully lined and painted (Silver). Excellent product. Zero leaks, Zero wind noise, and oh so quiet and warm... plus lighter and easier to fit than original equipment...... and... it's going to be up for sale soon.... Immaculate condition... only used one winter on a garaged car... thumbsup (will post here when it goes up for sale.... but I have promised one chap first refusal)... Look at my for sale advert for picture of it fitted to car.
