It's going to be tricky add full weather gear to a car with an aeroscreen so it'll mean going for a full screen which then means wipers
etc.

Cheaper and easier to just remove the passenger seat IMHO

The side of that roof is going to hum like crazy at speed. It needs to be a bit tighter IMHO...

Im doing a similar thing. Ive put a screen on, have made some doors and am making a roof that stows away easy.
Iv just put a screen on and keep it covered with rain-x. Im just gonna take it off for mot unless my rainx plan odnt work then il have to fit wipers.
But defo no heater.

Do It!! The hood that is. I fitted mine a while ago and use my MK a lot more because of it!
As said its about £1k all in but it does mean that i now use the car for a whole load of journeys, being able to jump in and go without a helmet or
goggles etc.
I have done a couple of posts on fitting it and also how i went about modding and fitting the windscreen wipers / washers. i dont have a heater or
demisters yet though - will only need them for MOT - dont need them in the real world with hood up or down.
I have also had my car upto at least 100 with the hood up with know issues though mine is tighter than the previous pic in this post.
I will post some links later - the train wifi is ridiculously slow. I have been on the train and managed to look at 6 posts in that time 
OK - here a couple of links - hope they are the right ones as the pics are taking sooo long to load so i cant preview the posts!

Hope that helps

I had my roof made by a guy in Burwell near Newmarket at a cost of £400 plus VAT , Screen was already fitted , I just added the fittings for the hood
, the hood frame I think cost me £25 off ebay . Has made the car a lot more user friendly especially after making and fitting sidescreens

I was working on the assumption that demisters aren't part of the MOT. I've got my first MOt a week on Saturday, so fingers crossed!
