Default hard top fitting kit

sorry if this has been asked before, i tryed the search button.

im not intrested in a hard top as the fitting kit is so much money.

ive never seen a hard top fitting kit in the flesh, but it doesnt seem like a lot to it...


why is it so darn expensive? what materials is it made of? they seem to cost more than the hard tops them self!

this has baffled me!

I was in the same boat too and I decided to import a kit from Hard Top guy in the US.

I still don't understand why its soooo expensive

I believe it is to prevent the chavs being able to afford them.

LOL!

Steve, you're eating, sleeping and drinking "chav" at the moment. You haven't secretly become one have you?

Around £330- parcel force added £12 "handling charges and £6 import duty" which is on top of this price.

If you are going to buy from HTG I would recommend that call him, email him and chase him every day until your order is sent. He is very busy so the service is not great. I managed to get my kit in 7 days - it arrived on Christmas Eve.

330 quid is better but still a lot. if the item wasnt manufactured alot it would bump the price up i spose.

i was under the impression these were in farely high demand though. very odd.

on another note i had a go at that chav test and scored 15% i must be a goth
