sailorbob Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 (edited) Composite roof for a S4 wanted, though I assume they are the same for all Stevens (and later?) cars. Any colour will do but 'B08' Pacific Blue would be ideal Swap for glass roof possible. Thanks. Edited June 19, 2009 by sailorbob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bibs Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 You just need to change the roof seal.

ramjet Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 I've got both as well. Just have to get hold of the smaller seal for when the composite roof is on.

benjamincalleja Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 Can anyone still point me in the right direction? I can pay handsomely, I really want the other roof type, in summer the glass one is too hot here in Australia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red vtec Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 Benjamin, Could you not put some heavy duty limo tint on the glass if you cannot get a solid roof panel?

Bibs Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 I think the thermal film you can buy for conservatory roofs would work very well. If applied well, you'd not even see it had been fitted.

benjamincalleja Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 True I have considered tinting but the factory roof is already tinted anyway. The other reason I want one is looks, I like how the esprit looks with both roofs and I want the option to swap them round every so often too. There aren't even any wrecking parts, Douglas valley seems to be the only wrecked in the world with esprit chassis and they all had glass roofs. I wonder if those molds you organized to keep Bibs, included the roof molds. They are in Belgium or something aren't they? Perhaps we could make some...demand is there. Could the factory do a small run if we get enough people? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
