I used the 303 fabric guard. I put it on thru out the entire top, over lapping it twice. I then concentrated on the seams applying it very liberally. Took a while to dry, but it sure looks good, and bubbles up in the rain nicely. I've noticed this as we've had over 7" of rain this past week. And me with a roadster. Still love it!!!

Where's ChefTyGuy? Probably too busy putting top down miles on his Marron!
Lil Raggi wonders how his buddy is?

Hey all, finally got the rear tail light rings off. Not exactly easy, and kinda scary as I don't line hearing cracking sounds when I'm taking something plastic off. But, nothing broke, this time. One of these days I'm going to get dome good pictures, rather than these kind. Here's the tail lights in black.

Welcome!

I like Eclipse Grey, it reminds me of the first brand new car I ever had, a 1988 Mini Mayfair (when we lived in the UK).

it is aftermarket design that i changed colors around on i have to say it was a bit of nightmare 5 different companies told me i was either out of my mind or it couldn't be done (MINI has not released the dimensions on spoiler). the company (i eventually re-ordered 3 times) is in london took almost a year to produce and when they arrived were eschewed completely off center. one side of spoiler graphic nearly 4inches longer than the other.
must say great save by Habberstad Auto body and collision center they re-cut and made my dreams come true! they also said never again to non MINI graphics
