Somewhat. I'm assuming that by 2018 (which is quite late for a 3.7 Roadster I believe ?) that was still an optional extra. So yes (apart from the crumply hood; Mary Berry would like the fiilo pastry look). ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2021/11/10/Filo-hood.md.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2021/11/10/Filo-pastry.md.jpg)

If I was fortunate enough to order a MY22 Mog, I would politely ask the trim shop to stitch some external flaps in as per original hood style, I just can't see how the new internal / top edge seals will protect from wind driven rain, there's a reason roof details on houses have an overlapping 'flashing'

On the silver car in the photo the front end of the roof / sidescreen interface looks correct. The sidescreen is pressing against the new rubber seal on the hood frame & there is an overhang of the roof fabric, it just goes wrong about halfway along when the roof fabric looks to be tucked behind the screen. I have seen at least one car out there with a 2022 hood where the full length of the sidescreen is tucked under the fabric. If you think the fit is bad now, just wait till cars start coming with the optional hardtop, trying to get the screens adjusted to. suit both hard and soft top will be a nightmare.

Lovely side exit exhaust improves the pic ?  ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/GfoIdrm.jpg) Somewhat. I'm assuming that by 2018 (which is quite late for a 3.7 Roadster I believe ?) that was still an optional extra. Sports exhausts either side or rear exit, continued to be offered to end of production with the rear exit version being a no cost option on the 110 version. Mine were bought and fitted after market though.

I use Vaseline, but even then with continued use the rubber can start to split. IMHO this concept is doomed to eventual failure with manual hood operation and but could work with electric hood after door is closed. Doesn't the Vaseline make your clothes messy ? No

I found the car configurator a great help specing my car. Got it this week and it’s a delight. Manual and everything black that is possible . I chose alloys as I want it to drive as well as possible. They are also a little quieter on the road. The Academy half day at Bicester was really beneficial as it was very wet and let me know the cars limits. The sports exhaust is most pleasing. The factory were very helpful and supportive. The way things are going it may be the last car I buy with an internal combustion engine so I pushed the boat out. I’ll have the luggage rack powder coated black also.
