soft top has a slightly lowered roof to make it more sporty looking

Cool! Good job. I'd really like to see what it would look like with the sporty Jaguar front & rear bumpers.

If I wanted a targa, I would have bought the NX2000. But a sunroof was enough sun for me.

yeh but the nx2000 is an ugly a-- car..
this way we have the good looks of the mx-3
plus all the benefits of a targa :twisted: lol
i think it doesnt look to bad, the pessengers in the rear
might enjoy all the fresh air on a hott summer day
and when it gets cold out jus pop the roof back on
its as simple as that :D
now that ive seen how it looks i might look into
doing sum body work to get that rooof off and do a
targa conversion.. the hatch would pose a problem tho :(
the smaller roof might not be able to support the hatch when its open
will prob need some bracing for extra strength

Big fan of the targa, it maintains the mx3's shape. soft top is rather ugly, sorry to say. Stil, good work.

What I think would be perfect, is a removable hard top, like my old Mercedes SL. It would be hard to do with the big back window, though. But as long as we're dreaming..

the soft top pic is actaully rather reallistic
soft tops dont maintain the exact shape of the car
usually theyre ment to make it look more sporty hence the lower roof on mine
and yeh i think the mx-3 would make a nice soft top..top down would give it an exotic feel
of course there will have to be a complete redesign of the rear
because there will be no more hatch..
im still workin on the exotic convertible mx-3 i promised everyone
hard to find good quality pics of the mx-3 in the angle i like

If you have a removable hatch, then the back would need to be altered. If you left it stock and just removed the hatch it would look like poo.
