itsujack Posted 9March, 2019 Report Share Posted 9March, 2019 As the title says, please let me know if you have or hear of one laying around somewhere. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoHeadsTas Posted 9March, 2019 Report Share Posted 9March, 2019 Suspect these may be a little bit like rocking horse sh!t, but don't be afraid to grab whatever comes up and wrap it to the colour you want. We did that with an MX-5 hardtop a few year ago, found a red one that didn't go with the silver of the car, so wrapped it in purple and added logos etc to go with my wife's business. All in all it looked great, and matched the "corporate" colours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've already snagged one very rare genuine accessory (actually the reason why I searched for the car 😬) so looking to fully accessorise... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstone Posted 10March, 2019 Report Share Posted 10March, 2019 Me too. I think most owners not using their's would hang on to it for the extra value it may give upon sale. Typically I've seen them for around 2.5k, but i can't see it adding 2.5k at time of sale. Personally I prefer the sleeker look of the soft top to the more bubble hard top, however it would be good for an away for days road trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoHeadsTas Posted 10March, 2019 Report Share Posted 10March, 2019 During the winter (in Tassie) the hardtop was really good as the MX5's softtop was pretty thin and not at all well insulated, but the 987 top was fantastic so I never felt the need to look for one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D2000 Posted 1April, 2019 Report Share Posted 1April, 2019 Staying to form, maybe buy a hardtop cover and the hardtop will follow! https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/willetton/other-parts-accessories/porsche-boxster-hardtop-storage-cover/1209835332 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qstoria Posted 22April, 2019 Report Share Posted 22April, 2019 If you are super keen then a long shot could be to try ebay Kleinanzeigen (German Gumtree type site) https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/ Shipping will cost a bit I know but I used to see them pop up for well under 1k euro here and there so you never know. Either way best of luck with the search. The 986 look great with a hard top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsujack Posted 23April, 2019 Author Report Share Posted 23April, 2019 Thanks I might give it a go.

itsujack Posted 8September, 2019 Author Report Share Posted 8September, 2019 Thanks guys, yes cost of shipping from Europe is prohibitive. Not in a hurry so will keep looking locally for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnr356 Posted 8September, 2019 Report Share Posted 8September, 2019 go and check the dealers,especially used car dept we used to have a pile of them at pcm back in the day. owners would never pick them up(didn't have room to store them)became a bit annoying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
