Z3 Hardtop thread

Here's miiiiiine. It's boston green, not Oxford green like the car, but it looks damn good and looks like it was 'meant' that way, in fact, I have no real plan of changing the color. I re-polished it since these pics. I still haven't hooked up the heated switch I got, as the bit of the loom isn't accessible easily - I'm going to have to yank the center console to get to it :-(
Car looks great with HT, however everytime the temperature gets to 13C and it's sunny, I wish I hadn't put it on

IMHO Don't bother, I had the heated rear window in mine and never used it.

Looks the biz with it on Toby, not a huge issue to remove it though?

Yep my h.t went to Ant, not Sean after I realised we're too hard core to be swanning around with one on ........and I couldn't be bothered with the faff of trying to find a Willing volunteer to help lift it on/off, worrying about damaging it or the car in the process. Obviously a winch is a god send for that task, if you have a garage that you can use.

6yrs ago on the drive down from Scotland when I bought it.
Took it off that night and never fitted it again so was sold on. Looked nice though.

This is mine. I think it will go blue when the car gets re-sprayed later this month.

I'm having the same thoughts.... although it looks OK as is.

Found one of my car being interracial
Mix those colours people

My two with their lids on.




Although the blue hardtop has now been moved from the 1.9 Montreal to the 2.8 Montreal

 

[Steve Medlock]

That's my hardtop store shed in front of the car.

 

[Lee]

The day I picked up my 2.8 over 7 years ago.

Same hardtop on my Z3M a few years later

It's now fitted on Sam's zed

 

[Jjim]

After seeing some of these I am now debating whether or not to tint the window on both my Arctic Silver and Montreal Blue hardtops?

Great minds and all that, I was thinking the same, sides and rear

I'll probably not do the sides as the cops around here will pull me over for a little chat all too quickly.

 

[t-tony]

You can do side windows as long as it's not too dark.

[Nodzed]

The one and only day it was fitted and the sun shone all day
