Hi

I was asking the same question recently on a different forum and was directed to Ingrid Oppermann in Germany who trades under Himmelservice (as per a previous message posted for you) and was also given this link:
http://www.cabrio-holz.de/khm/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=10&Itemid=11&lang=en

The majority of the feedback was too get the material you want and then get a good trimmer to make one up.

Hope that helps.  Will be a cool ride when finished.

Cheers

The company KHM is just about a ten minute walk from my home. I've seen really nice jobs of them. But don't expect to get it cheap. but if you want I could ask them for a price.

Tha would be great from you, but I need to know if it can be done in the "origal style", meaning no stitching

Hi Christofe,
I was at KHM a few minutes ago. The PVC roofs are available in black, grey, beige but not in any green/blue or else.
The fabric roofs are available in the colors like the convertible tops. But also no turquoise or bright green or else available.

If you want to go for a black one, then contact me.

That's it all done in one year, coming winter it will get a new gearbox, Berg gearbox mount, berg engine mount and maybe the 1915 cc from the orange beetle if I find time enough to build a new racing engine for my '72

That's all folks Grin
