harrytr5 Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 Like it. Looks sharp. Make up your brackets, I was lucky I borrowed a set and made them up from there. Regards Harry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TRTOM2498PI Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 (edited) Whilst my car is not Red, I can confirm they do look great with a hardtop installed. Edited February 5, 2021 by TRTOM2498PI Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Phil H 4 Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 I had been debating what colour to do mine when I got round to it. Think Black like Grahams. Tom are you testing Town and Country Tyre's (shows my age) or has the Sat Nav messed up again ? Just joking ...very artistic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Waldi Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 I like the 2 color concept. Some Mini’s had a white roof on red. Healey hardtops are also white sometimes. Think I will start my own business making hard top fittings (just kidding). Waldi Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lee Posted February 5, 2021 Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 For me the two colour thing looks so wrong Looks like you found the hard top and couldn’t afford to paint it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In the case of my car, you are absolutely correct, I cannot afford to paint it. Good job I did not find a blue one! I think black works, hell it came that way.

Some like it, some don't. I'd prefer it in body colour but can live with it for now. In our summer it is a lot cooler in white. My painter says that painting it will require stripping it including the head lining, all of which is in perfect condition. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Then find a better painter, decent masking and there is no need to remove the headling. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Had many painted without removing the headlining. Glass out obviously but that’s easy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I suppose I was assuming he was saying the headlining would need to come off from what he said about doing it properly. On reflection I think he was more saying there was a lot of work to remove trims, seals, glass etc and not to play with it because of its current condition. I am sure lots of painters will mask it up and do it, this guy only does high quality and won't do part jobs. I will leave it for the time being and then think about it. At the moment I prefer the top to be red but I'll see how I feel after a few months. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
