Blue top

My ocean blue box has the blue top. I really like the blue color because it is unique. I also have the metropol blue interior which complements the blue top. My box is garage kept so the top continues to look great for 13 years old. If I ever need to replace it I would opt for the blue top with glass window just to avoid doing the chop all the time.
Just my opinion.

Living the dream

Thanks all! :dance:

The company is called Car Hood Warehouse | UK's Number 1 for convertible car hoods and soft tops in Surrey | MAZDA, MGF, BMW, VW, PORSCHE in Surrey, I'm going to go for the black with the smaller glass, they custom build all their roofs to OEM Porsche specs.

Topless has a point- fun in the sun sun sun is all we know I even saw through the clouds today, to some more clouds hiding behind

Nimbus- I looked into some reviver for deep blue which had seen some good results but I'm terrified of ending up with a dodgy patchwork quilt on top

Ray - looking at the rear view from the inside I can see a significant drop in visibility as you said, about 30% less or so, although this seems a lot I spend most of my time grinning through the front anyway

It isn't unique; my 2000 looks identical to yours inside and out. I agree with you though I like the blue top too. If I need to replace it eventually I will probably go with blue again. It is holding up well and I recently polished out the rear window and treated the top with 303 so I don't think it's an issue for a few more years anyway.
