Here's the photoshopped one which appears here from time to time. Courtesy of Kayjey www.fiatcoupe.net.

Nah. Even the photoshop one looks awful, one of the coupes best lines is its roof, to hack it off would be sacrilege. Plus - you'd never be able to get the soft top (when done up) to follow the same line as standard. My two cents anyway.

What about a T-Bar roof with removable glass panels...one on my MR2 works well and keeps the original roof line?

I'd love to see a well thought out roof chop on a nicely lowered coupe, would look fantastic IMO
The roof pillars would have to be done aswell, and it couldn't be too drastic, but something like two inches less would give it a great stance!

I'd drive a roofless coupe anyday. Reaction seems to be a bit marmite. I suppose the roofline is unimportant if you're driving around with the top down though. You could just forget the posh roof, and have a fold away one like a Caterham for example.
I was very fortunate to be given an Audi R8 spyder for a day and night. I felt like a prize dick driving it because it was so expensive but Jesus!! the sound from the exhaust/engine was outrageous. I hurt my mouth smilimg so much. I think the 20v would be just as intoxicating, perhaps it'd need to be an NA though!

It's surprising just how much more exhaust you can hear with the roof down. I find this on my Fiancee's MX-5...roof up it sounds good, but roof down is so much better (partly due to it being a rare Larini ).
