⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ James Holloway - McLaren 650S Owner
"I replaced my aging composite roof with this second-hand OEM metal hardtop and couldn’t be happier. The precision fitment was flawless—zero gaps, perfect alignment. The metal construction feels rock-solid at high speeds, and the factory finish (black with orange stripe) matches my car exactly. It’s clearly been inspected and certified; no signs of prior wear. A cost-effective way to restore OEM integrity without breaking the bank."Purchase Date: February 2025 | Usage Period: 5 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Luca Moretti - Senior Technician, Prestige Auto Works
"We’ve installed three of these metal hardtops for clients with MP4-12C and 675LT models. As a workshop, we value reliability and compatibility—this part delivers both. The high-strength alloy maintains structural rigidity, and the rear tailgate integration is seamless. Even though they’re pre-owned, each unit passed our inspection with flying colors. Big plus: no recalibration or modifications needed. Ideal for restorations or track-prepped builds."Purchase Date: November 2024 | Usage Period: 7 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Daniel Park - Track Day Driver, 625C Owner
"I use my 625C for weekend track events, and switching to the metal hardtop has noticeably improved high-speed stability. Compared to the soft top, the enhanced structural rigidity reduces body flex and improves cornering feedback. The aerodynamic efficiency is real—I’ve seen a slight improvement in high-speed balance. Only reason I didn’t give 5 stars? Wish the Pro Model with ceramic coating was available in pre-owned stock. Will upgrade when it is."Purchase Date: January 2025 | Usage Period: 6 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Elena Rodriguez - DIY McLaren Owner
"As a DIYer, I was nervous about installing a used OEM part, but the plug-and-play compatibility made it surprisingly easy. The included alignment guide helped me secure it perfectly in under two hours. The metal finish is pristine, and the corrosion-resistant coating gives me peace of mind living near the coast. For the price, this beats any aftermarket composite option in durability and authenticity."Purchase Date: April 2025 | Usage Period: 2 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thomas Finch - Classic Supercar Restorer
"Restoring a 675LT for a collector client, we needed an OEM-spec hardtop that matched factory standards. This second-hand unit was inspected, certified, and arrived with original factory paint—exactly what we needed. The OEM certification ensured compliance with McLaren’s safety and aerodynamic specs. The modular rear design integrates beautifully with the rear clamshell. A trustworthy source for authentic replacement parts."Purchase Date: October 2024 | Usage Period: 8 months

David Langford - Certified McLaren Restoration Specialist
"For restorers and collectors, OEM authenticity is non-negotiable. This second-hand metal hardtop meets all structural, aesthetic, and safety benchmarks of the original. The metal composite construction outperforms composites in long-term durability, especially in UV-exposed or coastal environments. I recommend it for any restoration where factory correctness matters."
Dr. Anika Patel - Automotive Aerodynamics Consultant
"The 0.3 Cd drag coefficient of the Base Model is impressive for a retrofit hardtop. When paired with the rear-positioned aerodynamic design, it contributes to improved high-speed stability and reduced lift. The optimized weight distribution (12.5 kg) ensures minimal impact on handling—critical for performance-oriented drivers."
