I may be able to incorporate some discreet fixings into the deck to allow for this. I'll see how it works out.

Looks beautiful! Awaiting costs as I have an LGM rollbar but might have an interest in the dubble bubble. :-D

Looks great! :D

Perhaps drop a 'joggle' strip / block in the mold for the screen mount?

Hmmm.....just looking at the design and wondering if those pods are hollow. 'Cause I'm betting a pair of speakers would sound awfully nice in there. :wink:

Why square 'bubbles', Simon, rather than rounded like LGM's?

I'm thinking hard about the roll hoops and even the fairings, but as it is, the new rear deck with bulges doesn't appeal at all.

:-D

I'm very,very pleased. Sincere thanks to Simon for a truly excellent job and also fitting them in record quick time. The shape of the bubbles fairs perfectly into the fairing on the hoops and the cut out in them. The photo does not really do justice to how good it looks in reality.

The car with these fitted will be at Hethel in Sep for all to view.

PS: I said they would look good in Green :D
