Well, about these kind of “aesthetic” mods, as, I removed my roof (to gain 18kg !!), I found a cheap (50 bucks) engine cover, and made a hole on it, build aluminum frame, and fixed a Perspex window on it.

So, with no roof : a glance, and you can see the engine !
But, I have a plan, to push the concept a bit more, will see if it is going to work !
Note that the Brey-Krause bar is fixed in the rear side of the OEM hoop. This did enable me to keep the OEM paddings on the hoop, (imo extremely important for safety, ..if you drive the car without any helmet !) as well as keeping the OEM wind stoppers !

PS: all my excuses to Nine8Six for the off topic posts.
