Espace roof ? - welshy
Hi sorry if I sound a little stupid in asking this but does a 2002 previous shape Espace have a plastic roof , due to being a radio ham someone told me not to buy one as it has a Plastic roof ! This cant be true can it ? The reason I want a steel roof is that my magnetic aerials wont stay on the roof .

The other car I may be looking into is a 2004 307 hdi . The espace is so nice though !

Yes, all the panels are plastic (not sure about the bonnet though). Take the advice don't get one, they aren't the most reliable of cars, and cost loads to fix, I had one for two years, best thing I did was get rid of it.

Why not try putting a magnet on the panels?

Unless the panels are aluminium or fibreglass then the magnet will stick.

Come to think of it, I thought it was only the front wings and bonnet that were fibreglass.

No, I think it's all fibreglass. Certainly was on the MK1 Espace.
