IMHO I think they look bloody awful cheap sh***, if you want to do it, go OEM.

Not in the UN Diplomatic Corp or work for the Bleeding Heart Society then? =))
 
I was going to say PM spursfan but I see he has already offered some.

Personally I would not have the chrome ones - no point in them if you roll the car and I certainly wouldn't rely on the backs of the seats being strong enough or high enough should the worst happen.
 
To much PC going on these days, to many people will answer with 'Ooh, I like that' while behind the scenes they are thinking 'that's crap' you ask for an opinion, you get one..:)
 
when you see the state of a rolled car with a tin roof you have to wonder if the hoops on a convertible would do much anyway, there no higher than the seats, if its security you want then a multi point roll cage is the only way.
roll hoops are a bit like being told that putting your head between your legs in the event of a plane crash will save you:wideyed: if you have hoops or not if you roll your convertible its highly likely you will have had your chips, but then we all cross the road everyday without thinking hey these cars need airbags on the outside in case they hit me, the fact we are all driving around with a few gallons of explosive liquid in a tank just behind our seats or the spinning prop shaft is just inches from us not to mention the reliance on 4 rubber rings on our wheels, the list is endless, like clarkson says - rather go out going backwards in a ball of fire than wimper away:)

Just enquiring about a bit of bling but to do it OEM is more than I want to pay so I'll leave it as is. Thanks all for input and advice. :)
 
If you don't intend putting your car on it's roof Andy, I don't see the problem with the so called Style bars. If you're an OEM snob well then they're not for you, if you only want to add something which you think looks nice go for it. It's your car mate. Just my opinion - by the way.;)

Yes very true H/T. You think something you say it, that's why I like you you m******* f****** opinionated t****** lol!!!!! =))=))=)):D:D
 
was there an advert, showing a large bmw saloon on top of a z3, to show the strength of the screen frame and roll hoops, the stock roll hoops are a substantial bit of kit, and heavy lol, I did buy some stainless hoops, and fitted them, but took them off and refitted the bmw ones the same afternoon
