Is it an Elise? Is it an Exige?

No . . . it's an Elige!!!

Took the roof off for the first time today and got to admit, I'm loving it! Soft top conversion here we come!

Wasn't sure how it would look as I think roof off on the Exige is very colour sensitive, but I think the Magnetic Blue suits it.

It looks good without a roof.

That pic gives me a great idea. If everyone on SE sold their houses moved into caravans and chipped together we could get a fleet of supercars .

Dezzy I need to pick your brains as I cant get the two bolts off at the back think Murrays may have buggered them long story.

I really need to get my roof off as I have a soft top to use when I am in France. Anyone got any bright ideas.

Two cars that leak.....I think I'd have left the roof alone!

Vulture raid on a certain recently deceased Exige Cup

Soft top is actually less leaky than the hard top.

Yep, just used one of the allen keys supplied with the car. When you put it back on, there's a specific order to tightening the screws, explained in the manual, but I just took it off in any old order. Took about 15mins and while you could lift the roof on your own, it's definitely a bit easier with a 2nd pair of hands.

You like the new flat then Ross? I've had enough of city life and moved to a caravan park in Oban!

Doesn't taking the roof off invalidates your warranty? I was told of this during the factory tour.

I'd rather keep mine on as I've heard they can start to leak and make funny noises when back on.
