Lotus Elise / Exige Short Tail Soft Tops
Our soft tops are manufactured by us to the same standards as originally specified by Lotus, and are available in black.
The price shown is for a 'short tail' soft top re-using the cant rails (side rails), seals and tensioning wires from your old hood.
The price for the soft top does not include the inner headlining (not all cars have this). If this needs replacing, the price increases to £620.
If you need a complete new soft top assembly, including cant (side) rails, seals and tensioning mechanism, for example because your car came with a hard top but no soft top, we can order this from Lotus and the price is £1,435.
If your car has never had a soft top fitted before, it will be necessary to cut locating holes for the rear ends of the soft top support bows (the front holes are already in place) and fit pockets and spacers to these holes. The price of these additional fixings is £35. If you buy the complete soft top assembly and fixings from us, we are happy to carry out this modification work at no cost.
If you think your soft top is basically sound, and only needs relatively minor refurbishment, such as stitching that has frayed or come undone, or cleaning and reproofing, we can normally help. We would need details of the work required and/or photos to confirm a price, but as a rough guide, the prices could be:
Restitch as required £210
Restitch as required, clean and reproof £375
