TBH, I was thinking about buying a hard top for mine when I first got her for those winter months, but decided against it in the end as I would rather have the option to put the top down when the sun was out even if it was a chilly morning

If I was you I think I would put that

A hardtop is a waste of money for a convertible car in my opinion.

A few things to consider...

As summer approaches more hardtops may be put up for sale as owners who bought them specifically for the winter may decide to sell. So in terms of price, you may do better if there is greater "supply".

Hardtops seem to hold their value, so you are likely to get a large proportion of that back when you come to sell. So don't see it as money (all) lost.

But I agree with what others have said - do you REALLY need a hardtop, especially at a time when the weather is actually starting to get decent!!

Woojah, J_D and SlimJ_GBR...all good points, thanks!

The only thing which concerned me was leaving the car at football grounds, which I have to do with the job, and then some chav vandalising the soft top, but I'm sure I'll get round that somehow.

Woojah, had the top down yesterday and I can see what you mean. It was stunning! And SlimJ, yes, I need driver training as I'm still slowing down for corners

Cheers guys
