I suspect these are rare as hen's teeth. Are you looking to upgrade to a targa?

Why would two holes in the roof be classed as an upgrade? Just adds noise and let's the rain and cold in ;>)

Turning out to be that way....

Considering the conversion to a targa, coming up against a few problems, maybe not the right thing to do.

Anyone in Lancashire that would let me have a sit in their targa? Cheers

I think the panels are only part of the challenge - the targa has an additional bar front to rear between the holes, plus the seals on the car which the roof panel seals against are quite unique.

How about a sunroof? Maybe some kind of 1980s Webasto roll back type?

Also don't forget the targas openings aren't just random holes cut into the roof, the edges are lipped and as targa states there is also an additional brace on the roll cage.

Webasto styleee sounds good....

Have decided against the conversion, even though Andrew at Surface and Design says it is possible to do the lips, seals, roll bar etc. Afraid of spoiling it....

Maybe i'll just bend my neck and have my head hanging out of the window....

Cheers,

James
