Nova Cabrio is your man. He was selling some too a while ago, dunno if he still has them.

AFAIK they only come in bronze tint and with brown rubbers though. lol

Think Brettski got the ones off novacabrio (mark)

Early mk1 shells,( maybe all mk1 shells) had small slots on the b piller for the hinges, not visable with the rear window fitted.

So on a gsi you would have to cut the slots out, not worth it IMO

Iv only seen them in bronze tint, very rare also.

Yeah Bronze would look pants in a late shell without bronze in the rest of the car.

Didn't they come in clear as well? and the factory tint can be hidden with a very light smoke after market tint

I have a set ready to go on mine. Quite rare. Took me a while to find some.

No biggy. I have a mk2 and cut the slots. Easy, when you know how...
