roof off, dont tell lotus.

[_topcat]

Completely different car. nice to have the wind in my hair.

[Bob_Defly]

Let me know if it cures the squeaks!

[Davey S1]

Topcat.

Did you notice any major difference in the handling characteristics of the car?

Supposed to affect downforce and therefore handling at bigger speeds.

[james24]

Looks nice.

Hi davey s1, i only had a blast up the dual carrageway. safe speeds due to roads works.
The turn off ramp is a huge 270 degree corner and it still stuck to the road like sh1t to a blanket, enough to make me car sick!
Very strange to drive with that much light in the cabin. used to letter box windscreen and 2 mirrors. no sence of speed with it at the moment. look down and im doing 100mph. roof back on now and had a little drive round torquay, annoying the local chavs on my way to the casino.

That's done it. The next time it's a sunny day the lid is off!

Was tempted to last weekend, but thought it'd be more trouble than it's worth. Is it easy to remove / replace?

Very easy to take off. the roof is held on by 4 bolts. take off the topof the windscreen cover(three screws), remove the rear side trim( velcro), undo the 4 bolts in the corners of the roof. thats it. enjoy.

Oh i took it for a spin last night and didnt hear any squeeks but i must do an extended road test to be sure.

Calm down S Works, it's not a real mouse!
[Michael winner voice off]

Heard of a few people who have said that taking the roof off then putting it back on gets rid of the squeek that the majority of them seem to suffer from.

I think SWORKS, the car attracts enough pussy without the need for a mouse. Silly git.

[cptsideways]

[tanman]

[tanman]

[Ju.]

You can take the roof of them cool

They look alright with the roof of will make summer a bit more interesting then

[ryallm]

Looks cool with the roof off - just as well cos I get mine in 3 weeks and plan to be driving roof off at least some of time. Like the chequered flag graphic - where did you get it from and was it easy to apply?

Mark

[_topcat]

The decals were fitted by the dealer. cant be too hard to apply.
Good luck with you new purchase. have fun.

[_topcat]

How cool is that, driving with the roof off rocks. Great feeling with the wind, sun and smiles from everyone around. Had so many nice comments from people. 4 people in the petrol station commented on how fun it looks. I highly recommend it to all S2 Exige owners. No squeaks anymore either.

Job's a good'un fella Still can't understand why they didn't plan on that being a feature when they launched the bl--dy things in the first place.
