Default Hardtops

Dear Deidre,

I managed to get my s2000 in winter with the assumption it would be slightly cheaper thich i think has worked out for me..great! I figured i could do the same with a Hardtop in the summer

I also now want a Hardtop, But the standard GT hardtop in my opinion looks a bit MX-5'ish and doesnt suit the s2000's lines. I think you know where im getting....I want really a Mugen Hardtop but cant seem to locate one for toffee's. So does anyone know where I can get one, preferably in the UK.


Yours truly

owner

Even assuming you can find a second hand one for sale (and I wouldn't hold your breath as they're about as common as the proverbial hens' teeth), I certainly wouldn't expect any kind of "summer discount".

I'm not sure whether there is an official Mugen supplier in the UK. Might be worth trying someone like Tokyo Express or Takakaira and seeing whether they stock them or can source them. Failing that, you could always try King Motorsports in the US - they're an official Mugen stockist, from memory.

(Definitely don't agree about the OEM HT not suiting the car - but then opinions are like arseholes, aren't they? )

Stocky is selling his carbon Mugen top.

If you want a new one, try http://www.teiwa.co.jp or http://www.takakiara.co.jp their prices are very good and shipping is reasonable.

You won't find anywhere in the UK that has these in stock.
