Yes the carbon roof is a carbon fibre skin that's how they can offer it as an accessory.
Don't think I'd like my local pug dealer taking a can opener to my car to change the roof! :lol:
Hi and Welcome,
The asphalt was the first RCZ I saw it was in a dealers showroom where I was purchasing a Fiat 500 (for the wife) of all things! And I got drawn to the car had a sit in it as you do and thought wow must be great to own a car like this!
And now own my own Z.
I do like the...
I have the carbon roof on my Z and with the matching carbon mirror covers looks really well. The genuine carbon fibre has a high gloss finish and as yet I haven't seen a high gloss wrap to get close to it but Hexis do a mat/ satin wrap that is also textured to look like real carbon fibre. I...
Hi PaulE,
God sounds like a living nightmare! The sooner you get a replacement car the better! Sounds like a right pig in a poke!
It's unbelievable to think that in this day and age a modern dealership can't sort out any problems on a modern car. My mate who has an independent auto workshop...
Hi all,
Anyone see last night's TV's Watchdog which investigated problems with Audi's 2.0L FSI motor from 2011 onwards for excessive use of oil, some owners using a litre of oil every 75 miles!

Hi, when your oil is new or low mileage I've noticed the dipstick is very hard to show oil up on so a quick dab onto a bit of kitchen towel does the trick and you can gauge where the oil level is. :thumbup:
I totally agree the Mk1 front end is the one to go for!
Go for the lowest mileage MK1 GT you can afford. Why buy a MK2 just for the sake of a newer plate and have to put up with that confused snout!
Good luck

In my experience having been a rider of super sport motorcycles for over 35 years there are loads of bulls#* regarding tyres.big hype from manufacturers advertising their tyres are the best/ safest/ fastest! They spend millions on these adverts.I'm sure most would agree that tyre grip and...
Great post DKZ5745 how easy is it to download these updates? I don't think my NG4 has ever been updated do I need to download all the updates and install them one at a time or download and install the latest one only? :eusa-think:
