    The Beat Hardtop Guide

    Not many will find the need or want for one but this may be useful to some and possibly an insight for others.

    Let's start with the hardtops that can keep the softop Mugen and that is about it, every other hardtop requires soft top to be removed.

    Mugen looks like this



    Feels the one Tado has looks like this

    There are a few more out there but are not big producers but styles are based on the Feels / Studio Liberta ones having recently imported one for myself, I feel I can offer advice to any owners in the UK/Europe that are looking to buy one but would like help arranging it all.

    I will say it now to avoid disappointment you will be lucky to get one for under £1400 delivered that's not new but second hand, delivery in itself is £570-600 depending on exchange rate at time of payment. My advice to those that are looking to buy one, due to the way international shipping is it will be based around volume. They don't care on weight to much, so best see if there any other parts you want at the same time like service items, interior / exterior parts.

    Hopefully this will help some out there, apologies to those that have spat their drinks out at their monitors or those crying with laughter at the price lol But if you are going new then any of the lower 3 on the list are easily obtainable within a reasonable time scale.
