Need some advice, with the summer here im wanting a vert so badly!! Im wondering if its possible for me to buy a standard vert in the same colour as mine and swap over the bodykit and the wheels and sell on the coupe as standard. I bought my car with the kit already on it so havent got any of the old standard stuff! Thanks

yep. All body kit parts are transferable so you won't lose anything.
Best thing about the convertible is that for an extra £1000, you buy the hardtop and get 2 cars in one ;)

The mirrors won't swap over I think......

Yep hardtop will be a deffo, damn im really gonna go have a think about this now! The only other thing is the suspension, is that transferable?, think i will probably want to leave the exhaust on and ger a new one.

As I understand it, the coupe and vert share the same mirrors, the saloons don't.

yep mirrors are the same as is suspension.
I happily transferred Nick's suspension from his old coupe to a vert with no issues and I know Durgesh did the same
but also looking from a performance viewpoint.. the vert would be a heavier car than the coupe?

Vert is around 170kg heavier than a coupe which in real-world terms means that a vert is around half a second slower to milestone speeds, 0-60, 0-100 etc than a coupe
Ive had both...the vert is great for the summer, but handling is not as good, you need somewhere to store the hardtop in the summer and its slower in acceleration.
