Never seen this before, soft top Z8 style.

[hard top]

As far as I can tell, its still the OEM frame, its there design, material used and a different rear window.

@hard top, you're gonna have to spell it out for me and tell me how it looks any different.

no stitched seam down the sides and covered stitching along the rear plus rain gutters above the door aka z4

@ 1.429 GBP to the Euro it it would be £657 sterling. Okay, still expensive but possibly worth it for the bigger rear window and other tweaks.

But at todays 1.135 its £827 sterling. I'll not be spending my dosh in Euroland any time soon. If I needed a roof I might however take the details to a UK roof maker!

You don't work in a bank do you. You keep saying [1.429 GBP to the Euro] it's [1.429 Euro to the GBP]!
Either way, can buy a car for a grand so not worth it unless it's a show car..

I knew exactly what I meant

Now I kind of get why they are calling it a "Z8 Style" soft top.....

Just can't see enough of a difference to make it worth while. Only a Z3 anorak (if there is such a thing) would spot the difference, think I'd rather spend a lot less and go for the normal one. Would have a Z8 like a shot, but short of a lottery win that ain't going to happen.

Is that a plastic window on the Z8?

Is that a plastic window on the Z8?

Yep....

 

[Dino D]

Yep....

Good thing I found this thread then. I'll be sending it back before it arrives
Can't be dealing with crappy plastic windows again. Will probably have to renew the butyl seal on that too...
