Exige V6 Convertible Roof Conversion

[kbf1981]

How much should I be looking to pay to add the convertible roof to an Exige V6? Where would you pick up the Elise roof? Also... can it be reversed really easily when I come to sell the car, so it goes back to having the hard top on? Thanks!

I'd imagine it's the same process that's used to convert the four-pot Exiges. It's mostly reversible but you do have to drill holes in the roll-bar cover.

Might be worth calling Steff at Analogue Automotive - I know he's done them.

Just don't drive over 145mph with the soft top on....

The bigger problem is with the soft top off...the airflow over the spoiler is messed up so high speed stability becomes a problem. Do not know what speed the soft top might blow/suck off?

That is correct.

No front splitter / rear spoiler on the roadster as the soft top disrupts the airflow - that's why the roadster is limited to 145mph.

When I have my hardtop on even at our *legal* speeds the car feels a touch unstable - this because it has no spoiler but a normal roof.
