how much did this set you back for materials and labour?

More than I paid for the hardtop, lol, just under £600, but it is genuine alcantara, it could have been done for half the price using a different fabric.

i had to take it all apart and give the pieces to the work shop to be covered.

So OP, referring back to my thread about hardtops. How much scope do you see for losing weight? And would I risk water ingress?

There is some scope just taking the plastic covers off and removing the headlining will reduce the weight quite a lot, you probably just use a rattle can to then paint the bare metal to smarten things up a bit.

Cheers Baron, from what I’ve seen of your modding. If I’m careful with removing the bits, I can change my mind a fair way into the process?!

Yes absolutely.
