Re: z3 roll bars - roll hops
You will loose the storage box if you fit any roll bars on early Zs these are mine not the same but similar

Re: z3 roll bars - roll hops
What makes you say that? Rollhoops can be retrofitted to any zed from '97 on and provided you change the trim, a small storage box it retained. The same is true of post-facelift zeds, they just have different trim. If you fit a one piece rollbar, then you will definitely lose access to the storage box, on an early or late zed.si-forks wrote:You will loose the storage box if you fit any roll bars on early Zs these are mine not the same but similar

yes they can be retrofitted to all z3 models, but for rollbar and complet set is to much money..Robert T wrote: What makes you say that?

This storragebox is useless anyway for me...maybe i can drill and put subwoofer 8" to fill gap
if anyone have more photos, please post(from diffrent angle)
Re: z3 roll bars - roll hops
Sorry, I didn't follow the link earlier. I see these are two separate hoops, but with dummy inside legs. You don't need to drill the storage box lid for these, but you will still lose access to it. On a pre-facelift car you won't have the turrets with the popout panel as per that ebay ad - these can be retrofitted quite easily or you can drill the existing ones and use a couple of grommets to fill the holes.
I used to have a CD multi-changer in the original storage box, and even with the smaller one, I still manage to cram an awful lot of stuff in there. You would certainly have room to accommodate a subwoofer between the hoops if that's what you want.

Re: z3 roll bars - roll hops
Here you go
They never really stayed in place and used to spin around because the holes were in the wrong place.

Re: z3 roll bars - roll hops
Marc, did you secure them with the two Torx bolts that fit into the pre-threaded holes in the mounts underneath the turrets? The hoops on mine are secure enough that you can rock the whole car with them, and I'm sure they would stay in place with just the outer mount (they are the OEM hoops, so I have inner mounts to). The outer mounts are incredibly substantial and I would have thought that the two bolts would hold them very firmly if torqued up correctly.
Cheers R.

Re: z3 roll bars - roll hops
I did tighten them up a lot, but they just spun on the chromed pipes. I was going to try the ones that have a bar between the hoops

but found some OEM parts and did that instead.
