Retractable hard top material

solidgold · 05-19-2010, 08:47 PM

I was washing my car and notice that there is a very tiny stone chip on the retractable hardtop. Unlike other stone chips which leave a small mark where you can see the some light metal colored surface after the paint coat was "chipped" off, I see a small hole which looks like a chipped porcelain look.

I don't think the retractable hardtop is made of the same material similar to other parts of the car body (eg doors and bonnet). Anyone knows? Fibreglass or something?

The hood is also made of aluminum.

And in the UK, the bonnet is made of aluminium.

women rating system: 1-10

a dime is ten cents, so since she's was a "10" i call her a "British dime"

"Brazilian dime"
"Puertorican dime"
"Irish dime"
"German dime"
"Italian dime"
"Ebony dime"
"American dime"
"Russian dime"
"Korean dime"
