Could you tell me is a 2008 AP1 hardtop is compatible on a 2007 AP2 S2000 model ?
And which grey color color codes exist on AP1 and AP2 2007 and 2008 models ?

I meant ....is a ap1 euroean 2008 hardtop compatible on a ap2 2.2 u.s. 2007 model ?

 

Trying to match a specific paint code? Several silvers some of which are simply regional names for the same paint code which is on a sticker in one of the door jams. The only "gray" I can find is the Moonrock Gray Metallic/Gris Lunaire (NH-630M NH-676M) not available in the US. Factory paint colors and sometimes names are dependent on market.

There's only one factory hard top (I'm aware of) and it fits all model years without regard to having the AP1 or AP2 engine or the face-lifted bumpers and lights. 2008 roof should fit your 2007 car.

Thank you Chuck
in fact I’m buying a second hand 2007 ap2 s2000 2.2 american imported in europe with soft top
and would like to buy an extra hardtop coming from a ap2 2l european 2008 model
concerning the car it’s a nh-630 m grey model called silverstone metallic

kind regards

The top itself is the same. The defroster harness may be different between years/markets though.

NH630M, by definition is the same as any year NH630M.

 

@PILANDA Looks like I typed the wrong paint code for Moonrock Gray Metallic/Gris Lunaire which is NH-676M, not NH-630M which is Silverstone Metallic -- and the color of my car as well as yours. Thought it looked familiar.

As noted the paint codes are consistent through the years and the roof will match if they're both the same paint code.

All hardtops are the same. Wiring differences are on the car side. Some early ap1's don't have the harness already installed but pretty sure all ap2's have it due to the soft top glass having the defroster. Paint match is another thing entirely and even if the paint code matches the paint match may not be perfect but should be close.

 

Environmental changes in paint color -- car out in the elements for 10-plus years (even just those times it was driven) vs a hard top sitting in the garage or box all these years -- may show slight color differences but Silverstone seems pretty forgiving to me. I put the little ducktail trunk lid spoiler right out of the box onto my '06 in 2015 and the front spoiler (again right out of the box) in 2019 and the colors match exactly as far as my eyes can detect. Even if painted the same hour with the same paint gun in the same booth paint looks different depending on the surface. Better eyes than mine can see it. I had my front bumper refinished to get all the stone chips removed when I had the front spoiler fitted and was amazed how well the body shop was able to match the color. OEM fenders hood and front spoiler with the OEM bumper sandwiched between them. (VIN tag on bumper masked prior to refinishing, of course. )
