ultra rare butt ugly carbon hardtop for sale.

made by a french company to try and mimic the coupe, the original prototype looked great but the actual production piece looks poor, this is completely constructed from carbon / kevlar. For rarity factor id love this but hate the way it looks, its so close to being cool however!!

The rear window is way too big and it looks like the roof got a hump at the upper edge of the rear window. And that small side window...

I actually like the way it looks. If it weren't across the pond I might've bid...

I guess one person's butt ugly is another person's beauty.

for example have you seen those tops on the s2000 that make them look like a coupe. i kinda think this is what they wanted but it didn't work, the original T is one of the nicest HTs around, with th built in spoiler i think it looks as cool as the coupe in a different way. can't lie however, the carbon kevlar construction is baller.

heres mine that i took yesterday during a car detailing session. o.e FTMFW

What a weird looking thing that is. If you really needed that much headroom, just keep the top down!

this is how you do one of those coupe tops, this looks awesome imo and this style to suit the z4R would look nice.

Hmm, if the rear glass weren't so big I think I would like this. It's also so tall, maybe it just looks that way because of how high the rear glass goes?

Haha damn I was just looking for pics of the Mugen hardtop!

If a company really wanted to make the roadster look like the coupe, they'd have to cover the trunk, a la S2000 Spoon/Mooncraft hard top. Notice the rear window as well, though the authentic Spoon piece Too bad I don't think it would make business sense to make:












And while somewhat on the topic, this photoshopped S2k coupe always made me think of the Z4 coupe

tom they are the o.e side decal from the new performance models, total pain in the ass to fit as they need cutting down, they were never meant to be on the aero sill so took real time to get right, i followed the crease of the aero sill and it really turned out awesome, the car looks so cool, finally the black top theme tied in perfectly to my eyes. The vinyl decal is made for bmw by 3m and is top quality as you'd expect.

I see what they were going for with that hard top, but the rear window goes way too high. I'm not really a fan of any of the hard tops for the z4, they always look like some weird helmet.

Theres a company who makes a nice fastback hard top for the miata

i think the decals work really well on mine due to the black top.... not quite sure it going to work so well when i remove the roof, I'm cool with that however. To my eyes with it all tied in, the roof, the wheels, the side skirts, the car looks absolutely beautiful.
