Can anyone advise if it feasible to remove the bolted roof panel on the Exige V6 and fit the sort top roof. What I mena really is are the pockets and lugs there so the soft top roof can be fitted without any extra parts being required, or can the extra parts be obtained and fitted relatively easily.
I ask because I must prefer the car with the spoiler etc. I know that the top speed was limited because of aerodynamic issues at high with the roof off, so I would still respect that, and besides apart from the odd airfield trackday or autobann you never hit really silly speeds, and besides, been there and got the tee shirt!

Apologies for the silly question...but it is not so silly to me.

A few on SELOC have already done it. Hardtop uses security hex bolts but that's easily solved, then you just need to add a few fixings for the centre rails for the soft top.

I think some of the part sellers did kits for the S2 Exige which will also fit the V6. There is a guide in the S2 part of the TechWiki iirc.

Thanks James, great advice.
The other solution was to add the wing and splitter to the roadster, but that would cost more!
