Hardtop on a MX250 Convertible
 
Hi all,
I'm struggling with ordering a convertible or non-c version of the mx-250.
Have you got some pictures of a convertible with a (stock) hardtop mounted for me?
I prefer the lines of a non-convertible but not sure whether my hight of 185 cm is a problem with the roll-cage..

Greetings from Hamburg,
Jan

Its "fatblokes" build and he has retained the original hard top

Why not modify a hardtop to have the lines of a gto coupe shape and have the best of both worlds?

Anyone ever thought of doing a targa top version??

Hi Jan. I am 6'4" or 192 in euro height and have no problems in the hard top. I have a specific routine for getting in and out, however once I am in there are no problems. My head fits between 2 bars of the strengthening frame and doesn't rub on the roof. Hope this helps.

Hi,
modifying the stock Mazda hardtop will exceed my skills- I guess..
@craig306:Thanks for that information, helps me a lot.
Greetings Jan

Hi Jan - I went for the hardtop simply for the shape, no problems with my height in the car (5' 10" or 1m 78cm).

I have attempted to bond the roof on but it does move and the paint has cracked so if you do go down this route just be aware. I am now looking for some plastic beading to go on the joins.
