aftermarket Storage\Hood cover

Postby manny » 18 Apr 2013 13:39

Hi chap\chapesses


just wandering - has anyone attempted\know of any GRP\ABS speedster type covers for the hood storage area, like the one below:

i am sure i once saw a lotus Espirt s3 and 308GTB conversions that looked rather splendid.

Cheers

Manny

Certainly be easier than trying to snap down a 33 year old slightly shrunk, somewhat stiff albeit new looking vinyl cover. Would have to figure out how to fit around my wind blocker brackets though.[:p]

wow loads of replies!![:o)] even been wandering about a 80's SL style cover would be cool, you could integrate locking hinges onto the cover....using the windblocker when needed?

I'm pretty sure someone here posted about one they had (perhaps made?), but I've been unable to find it via search.

I had something like that years ago on my Miata. It was a three piece cover that came apart so it would store in the trunk.
