Have just got the car back from RTCC had new pipes and sports gear linkage fitted. Was a little put off by mole valley giving me the wrong info on the hard top so tried a different dealer. I live in N London so it made very little difference between the 2 for location. Still trying to talk to some one who can help make the car more waterproof! may start a new thread to see if any one has good ideas.
Fair enough, not overly impressed with Mole Valley but Charles seems a nice guy.
Car sounds nice nice now I bet with new pipes
As for waterproofing, my series II is not exactly faultless but no leaks on the move and only if stationary in heavy rain. Sorry I have no pearls of wisdom but I'm sure Cereal or Mr_Tony will/can help. As may Aeroman seeing as he has had every iteration of Aero 8 to date
Good luck

Congratulations on your Exhaust and Quickshift... it makes such a difference... BTW what gear knob have you chosen? Using the standard gearknob on the shortened shifter still leaves you 1 inch taller than an aftermarket knob. The only downside is that if you have the original you'll need to get the adaptor for standard screw-on type gearknobs as the BMW is push-on. I found the original gear knob on shortened shift does not suit the leather well....
Also... what's up with your roof...??
My father has a MK1 roof with the wooden cross brace that attaches to the top of the windscreen. I have a later type easy up roof that mates to the rear of the chrome/stainless steel strop across the top of the windscreen.
Dad has some techniques to best seal the roof if it's a roof joint problem and general sealing around side windows (assuming the side windows are aligned properly).
He has just re-aligned my door window brackets to bring the quarterlights into correct allignment with the "A" pillar in order to better seal over the door. (a common problem, easily fixed!!)
Neither I or father have particular problems with our roofs anymore.
Best bet is to pop up to the GT3 racing at Silverstone and we can have a look at it.
We have had previous friends and customers with Aero's. Some of whom have manged to get upgrades from the factory depending on what model roof they have. It really depends on the lines/design of the roof you prefer and how waterproof you really want it to be. ;-)
