Just interested in doing this myself and what would would be needed?

Dont know of anyone who\'s done one in this country. It would be a lot of custom work to get it done, Chassis strenghtening, bodywork panels and then maybe a removeable roof section (just thinking of the weather we have :p)

I could be wrong but I think you have to fit a roll bar if it was built after a certain date.
Best check up on that first as that would ruin the look.

Yea, agree, a roll bar would ruin the look.... but roll hoops like they use on the MX5\'s & TT\'s would look the dogs!
