Use OEM Hardtop seals for your aftermarket top and you'll be a lot happier.

Luckily he hadn't taken ownership so it was the dealers insurance that covered the dealer and he will have just had his deposit back.

But it was a huge shame as the car was mint and an incredibly rare colour. It's mental it was written off just for the headlights and hardtop though. The mechanicals and chassis were still pretty much mint.

The moral though, is ask some serious questions about the origins of a hardtop for sale for much less than £500.

Aston,

Have a word with Tegiwa, I believe they have a carbon fibre Mugen replica hard top at a very attractive price.

There is one for sale on the forum right now, it is perfectly priced at £800 including fitting kit, this imo is the correct price for both ... who dreams up this 1k crap I don't know

PS I sold my hardtop for £530 and my fitting kit for £300 probably 5 years ago now.
