You Have to Laugh

[Aminal]

Helped Mrs Aminal take off the hard top off her S1 on Saturday so she could go topless. She then went out for a jolly. Unfortunately she got caught in a heavy shower and returned very soggy. When asked why she hadn't put on the soft top she replied "There aren't any of those bendy things". I have had a good search and they are not hidden in the usual places and when we contacted the provious owner he said he never had the soft top on as he only went out in the car if it was sunny.
So does anyone have a spare set of Roof Bows or will I have to go to my friendly Lotus Dealer.

Give Eliseparts a call, Geary sometimes has replacements. If not drop junks a line, he may know of a place to get some.

[Mr_C]

are you sure they aren't begind the seats under the rear window if it's an early S1 (like mine)??? they just pop in.

[aminal]

Shower gel. We are talking about a lady who has half of boots distributed around the bathroom. The soft top takes up less room than the hair care products she uses!

[aminal]

Will give Elise parts a try.
I have looked in the boot & behind the seats & even tried in her handbag.

[Mr_C]

is the car a boot bag or a fibreglass boot version?

[aminal]

It's the f/glass version.

[Mr_C]

I don't know why I asked that as I think the roof bows are the same for both types it's the cant rails that differ.

Try EliseParts. I don't know what they'll cost though mate
