    Hard top is always the best looking in my eyes! Then topless!

    Love the car in any config since your mini-wrap. But if had to choose, in order of preference :
    1. Hard top. 2. No top. 3. Soft top
    But 2/3 combo is going to be best for you in Monaco - Spring to end Autumn.
    TIP: Get yourself a rechargeable torque screwdriver - will reduce hard top changing time to minutes.
    ATB, Andy

    I honestly thought your Lotus was boring when you first bought it, but with the wrap and the customizations it looks great!

      +Alvaro Grados It's a Lotus design,it will fill itself up when raining so it will cool the driver down when driving quickly or after the driver had a workout.Don't know how to deal with it in the winter though.

    It looks great with the hardtop! And topless, too bad it is so much work to get the hardtop out of the car.
    And for that softtop, isn't it possible to attach the front side first and then the back side? Maybe that makes jt easier to attach the roof that way?

    I think it LOOKS best with the hard top because of the wrap. I do have to admit that come spring in Monaco, I would definitely go no top (on the car).

    @z4xx0r 8 років тому +1

    Anyone else check their phone at 3:45, and again at 3:49? Couldn't the screws have been started with the short end of the Allen wrench (more torque) and then finished up with the long end (more speed)? That's how I like to work socket head screws. Too bad the roof takes so long to put on or off. The Lotus looks great with the top off, but I imagine most drivers are less inclined to take it off if it takes so much time. The cloth top isn't half as flattering to the car as the hard top is. My preference, in order, is topless, hard top, and soft top.

    Hard top is the best because the colors and stripes match, but no top is obviously the best overall. It looks cool and makes the car a lot easier to get in.

  • @Father_Nature88
    @Father_Nature88 8 років тому

    Seb. Something that will cut your hard top time in have is a drill with the correct Allen wrench fitting! When tightening don't tighten it fully with the drill. Hand tighten it after about half way so you don't strip the screws!!
