Hi to all! my name is alain im from essex. I have just be deliverd a new project car a tt aerotop! Needs alot of work (ill try put some pics up tomo). I have owned a mr2 turbo for the last ten month which will be up for sale soon. (it a rev 2 black t-bar if any1 is interested?) I am gonna need a few bit to complete this project mainly a new areo top roof section. The guys who delivered it the car tonight lost the roof on the m11?! NO I COULDNT BELIEVE IT EITHER?!?! They didnt bolt it down properly luckly they said it didnt hit any1? So if any1 can point me in the direction of a new one that would be most helpful! Looking forward to talking to everyone bye for now

Wow lost your roof fast and furious style!

Nic the import pimp I believe can source it. Not cheap - £450 or so I believe off memory - remember it'll need painting too :(

Think that excludes delivery from Asia too.



And custom/taxes... sorry

If I find it on the M11 I'll sell it back to you for £300 :D. I can't believe they didn't stop to recover it!

Welcome to the forums ;).

Welcome to the forums ;).

I have a sneaky feeling they did it to reinact fast and furious. Its pretty difficult to drive an aerotop without knowing the roof is not on properly. It will rattle like hell over every bump even if you have not screwed it tightly not alone at all.

Welcome :) Big shame about the roof, hope it's under cover! I would make the delivery people fit the bill for a new one too!

it was on a delivery truck, they said they did go back but couldnt see it? they think the police picked it up out of the road? Oh well got it cheap so got some money to play with? Id love a carbon fibre one but still need the gubbing that go inside the top?

Welcome O topless one :D

Hope your luck improves. I'd check the transport company's insurance to see if you can claim for the loss which wasn't your fault :rolleyes: ......numptys :twak:

I'd honestly try and get some reimbursement for the roof, aero's are rare so you'll be hard pushed to find a 2nd hand one.
