Hi, I recently bought my chrome orange Exige which has had the soft top conversion carried out by the previous owner.

I'd really like a bit of topless motoring in the summertime, but sadly the previous owner didn't use the soft top very much so he sold it a few years back, so although ready to accept a soft top, one didn't come with the car.

Does anyone have an idea where I can get one from? I've searched seloc and ebay but found nothing over the past few weeks. Am I right it thinking its the same roof as the Elise 'short' soft top or the VX220 soft top?

Hi Jonty, good choice!

I converted my old S2 Exige to run with a soft top.. It takes the S1 / S2 short roof soft top which comes in two versions, the standard one has no lining (as per my S1) plus there is a version with a limit which make the cabin a little quieter and warmer. I'm not sure about the VX220 figment, but I'm guessing they're the same.

It took a while to find mine, but I just kept an eye on eBay. It might be worth posting in the 'wanted' section on here plus SELOC and The Lotus Forums as they do come now and then, but they do seem to be a rarer commodity these days.

Happy hunting and happy hooning, enjoy the car, I did! driving

yikes Yikes! Er, yeah I think I'll stick to just trawling Seloc, Ebay and PH. Or maybe just simply get wet if it rains! That would be a lot lot cheaper!
