Exige softop

[hosedoctor]

Hi chaps,i just got myself a Exige,and was wondering how much a softop conversion is and where i can get it done,im in Essex???

[Mr_C]

Ring Bell and Colville mate, they sell them IIRC

[hosedoctor]

Thaks i will give them a call.

Sinclaires in Romford would be much nearer you and well worth a call too. Be surprised if they couldn't do it.

[hosedoctor]

I spoke to the boys in Romford they can do it for around £1000!

Ouch!

[Mr_C]

There are lots of guides on the web, basically if you've got a drill and a dremel it's a simple job and (I think) the kit is about £500 from Lotus and cheaper elsewhere.

Do yourself, mine cost £200 but I got the top cheap. Easy enough to do.

I bought the soft top for £300 including the two grommets. Didn't fancy taking a dremmel to the car so got GST in Newmarket to fit for £70. I do have a copy of the fitting instructions if you need them though.

[hosedoctor]

Im not the best for a bit of diy,if i did it the engine would probably fall out!!!!

[Mr_C]

You only need to drill 2 holes IIRC?!

[X7LDA]

Soft top and grommets for under £300-£350 all in... Easy peasy.

I've got a black soft top that I'm about to put up in the classifieds. Then all you need is the grommets (which IIRC are under a fiver).

Only thing is the top is faded and will need a lick of Renovo before fitting... Although I am thinking about do that myself and putting it up for a bit more.

You should make up for it by selling the soft top for half price!

Free shipping that's as far as I go

For anyone doing it though - the link on Lotustalk.com is great and talks you through step by step how to fit it yourself.
