Has anyone had experience buying one of these soft top roofs for a 550Barchetta from Dimex in Germany? Are they a reliable supplier?

Yes I have one, and it transforms the car in terms of usability. It can be fitted in minutes and you can drive at high speed. It took them 3 weeks to make and deliver. Harry Metcalfe has one on his Barchetta, and it was he who convinced to go down that route. It makes IMHO the Barchetta a far better proposition than the 575 SA ( 550 vs 575 plus potenital SA roof issues)

Well I have been waiting 12 weeks and paid for it and fails to respond to my mails and calls. Not a very German demonstration of efficiency and honour. Not happy

After weeks or unsuccessful attempts of contacting them, they have called to tell me that there are 3 roof's awaiting delivery (mine being one of them!) but they have been let down by a supplier for one small part! At least now I know.

Sadly the roof will not be here before I go on holiday to France next week where I was really hoping to take the car! Aaaaah well!

A bit happier now smile

trust me, that one call every so often means nothing.
I ordered a full kit, suspension and exhaust for my 612.
The kit arrived after about 3 weeks which was fine, great quality, exhaust sounds awesome.
The suspension was written in the manifest and shipping docs but not there, it has been 8months and i've had only 3 calls from them ( them answering mine ) and just a pile of abuse from the ignorant owner.
Such a shame as the quality is just awesome, the owner is a douche and just a disgusting way to run a business. I've sent three people to him and they have called 20+ times each with several emails and not once have they gotten through.
Just awful and ignorant. I'm not going to give up and just keep calling, no skin off my nose except i am missing the suspension!!!!

Does anyone have a picture of the Dimix roof on and off? Many thanks.

Is Dimex still in business? No sign that I can trace on the internet...
