Cheers for that.I notice their price is around £400 (and the USA is pretty cheap for stuff like this), is that a feasible price?
Or looking for much lower?
The last vented CF bonnet sold for about £350.
FM ones would be £500+
Garage Vary - £££'s
You'd have to get the science right with a vented bonnet as low and high pressure air is invloved and it can be complicated. If you can crack it you'll make good money especially for those running FI.
I think if you can source Mk1 boot lids for under £200 there would be strng interest.
Hardtops wouldn't be viable IMO as you wouldn't get much change out of £1k and I'm not sure there's the interest.

No interest in carbon fibre hard tops? I thought that would be quite a good seller?FM ones would be £500+

In the US they retail at well of $1k, I'm just not sure UK punters would spend the money - most love the top down experience so view a pricey top as extravagant. I didn't, I loved it.
The weave itself was good but the fittings left a lot to be desired. You can source the interior clips no problem, but the rear catches will be very difficult to replicate.
If you can do one for circa £500 you'll sell lots - therein lies the challenge.
