  • Anyone bought this 450 canopy?

    Just ordered this from ebay for a tenner inc postage :

    It looks ok, gotta drill my own canopy mounting holes but thats no biggie. Anyone bought one, opinions? half the price of align ones so gotta be worth a punt eh?

    I have had a couple, put them on my mini-pred, i still have a brand new one in the garage i am keeping as a spare, not to bad to be fair, worth the money i'd say and seem a good fit, not quite the same finish inside but what does that matter.

          I hope its a different canopy to the one I got sent a while back..

          It was no where near wide enough for the SE v2 model..

          If this fits the SE v2 I will be putting an order in myself.

                  Had one on mine for ages now. Fits great, paint's good, and it's survived several close encounters with mother earth!

                      yes it does. you can also fit the trex 450 canopy mounts to the belt to make it fit better

                        Thanks Glen
                        I reckon it looks pretty cool for a tenner and well worth a punt
