Soft top from Eliseparts...

My soft top is a little worn, so i'm thinking about replacing / refurbing it.

Does any one know what the above soft top is like, are their any pros/cons over the proper Lotus one?

Since they say they require the 2 rear brackets from your old roof i'd have to basically destroy the Lotus one to get one of those, is it worth the hassle?

I emailed MMC and was told refurb would be 80+p&p, but have seen people here talking about a £40 refurb, have I read wrongly, or well, howcome I was quoted double?!

I think the Lotus parts prices have gone up recently, so maybe this applies to the soft-top refurbs too.

It might be worth phoning another dealer (F1 in Newcastle e.g) and ask them the price.

Also we get 10% discount at MMC, don't if it would apply to the refurb though.
