Has accuracy gone out of the window/sunroof as this should surely be a metal or narrow nylon type zipper?

Blimey, nothing has caused quite so much debate as the headliner. :?
It's obviously important to many folk. :wink:

Anyway, here's a photo (from Andrea) of an original zip and the new reproductions. An excellent match I'd say. 8)
Certainly cleaner but spot on for size, style and finish. No protest from me, I can't see why you'd be unhappy with that.

Excellent, looks just the part , good to know, I'd trawled through all the old photos of my car but couldn't find any of the old zip

It's a new Porsche pump. I managed to find the last OPC with one in stock (Colchester) and snapped it up.

This must be a pleasure to re-assemble. I like the passivated yellow with the green. It looks cool.

Aha - I thought it was originally purple for some reason. As you were!

I'd have stuck with purple. That would be cool.
I'm delighted with the lime though, next best thing to orange. :wink:
