|  Bad Convertible Conversions
There have been bad and good convertibles based on coupes. What are some cars that you think were bad conversions? IMO: bad-350z to 350z convertible  
good- Camaro to Camaro convertible

I can also think of some coupes that never were but should have. Audi TT is one that fails for me.

BMW Mini-series was bad enough, but then they chopped the roof off. If Satan was a gay hairdresser, he would drive a Mini convertible! Horrid.

Good coupe converted into a convertable, Aston V8 vantage, it looks sexy anyway and cutting the roof off just accentuates those lusheous hips.... 
Yummy!
Bad convertable,

BMW 3 series E30 was hideous. Looked like a boat to my eyes. | |

Like I said I quite like them.

It had been tweeked abit but generally it was a nice car. | |
