I love the TopHat stuff EXCEPT I hate KBX front ends, they are just hideous,but I suppose people need to know that your car is 'bespoke' somehow
 I'm not much for the logo on the steering wheel either, a bit naff.
Other than that, the ragtop is perfect, I like the alloys on it too. Hats off to them. |

I like some of the KBX front ends but I don't like that one with the mesh in it, I like yellow on a ragtop, not so much for a hardtop though 1993 200 Tdi 90 CSW
