The hardtop looks amazing. Also I like the timber door cappings.

Excellent execution.

You may coat the frame of the rear side windows in blue or black. That would hide the different lines to the front side window
Just an idea.

Thanks for your suggestion, but honestly I decided early in the design that side and rear windows needed to have an aluminium frame to compliment the door windows frames and the windshield frame. It also makes the hardrop look lower. Black rubber would have had the same effect as your suggestion. Visually with the brushed alu frames it looks more complete. Having said that I still respect your idea;)

I did not mean to criticise your solution. Execution seems to be excellent and in reality it may look even better than on the pictures. Enjoy the ride!

Yes a really great result, I like the roof line, it seems ‘complete’ to me

Hi Hannes, do not worry I am always open to suggestions. I am a 'creative' so if I had to do another hardtop I would probably come up with a few other modifications as well;))
