pics WILL come soon.
Roof fits fine, no rattles and, I might be just imagining this but I swear the engine 'growl' seems more pronounced with the hard top on !

But it does look sooo good. People just can't help themselves but stare ! I even got an approving 'nod' and a smile of a traffic-cop on the M6 today (and they always try to look as tho nothing phases them !).

BTW, THANKS FOR ALL YOU HELPFUL COMMMENTS.


Have 3200 miles on my USA Z8. At 1200 mile service I had them change the oil and filter. They therefore filled up the oil. Since then it hasnt needed any. The fact yours has needed some shouldnt be a cause for too much concern (IMHO) because these engines are known to eat oil. With this kind of car, I think its important to check the oil and tire pressures more frequently than with other cars.

Please post some pics- cant wait to see how it fits! Does it rattle at all?
