      Hi Alan,

      Many thanks for your reply. I have found the same problems as you, I will keep looking at other brands, if I do find any I will let you know.

      Regards,

      Chris.

        It looks to me like they are two different cars. The top one indicates that it is a facelift convertible as the driver door  does not show a quarter light to the front of the door, the rear light looks more like the facelift model.

        The bottom pic shows more like the HE style pre facelift.

        Regards,

        Chris Leeson, (facelift Cabriolet J685 CEV).

          Hi Robin,
          Thanks for your reply, this will be my spring project when a bit warmer as I have to work outside. Been looking up Bilt Hamber seem to get good remarks so will give it a try.
          Regards, Chris.

            Hi Robin,
            Many thanks for your reply and advice given, fits well with my own ideas, not familiar with the brand but will give it a try.
            Like the pic make a good Christmas card. My car is a facelift 1992 cabriolet with targa tops, not on Bleasies favourite list but is on mine.

                Hello jyrki,
                I have used the renovo product for the soft top for the past six years, not the cheapest but gives me the result I am looking for. I use a good quality car wash liquid to wash the top and allow the top to dry. Remove the targas and fold down the hood then wash down the roll bar and channels and dry. I then apply the colour mine being the blue to the to the bars and channels and allow to dry. I coat the targas away from the car, reset the hood and sheet up the body of the car to protect paintwork, and colour the hood. Using the same method I apply two coats of the protective sealer allowing to dry between applications. I colour every two years and seal every year. I will also cover the interior of the car to avoid splashes on the leather, mop up any drips or runs that run down the channels particularly the colour dye. I find this keeps the car looking in top condition and if it gets wet going to shows it will just mop up.
                Have fun,
                Chris Leeson.
