Default Convertible conversion - who does them?

Does Anyone know of any companies out there who can convert Coupe's into Convertibles??

I've been looking for a new car for a while and these not much out there i really fancy. Want a convertible but there is nothing in my price range i like (£12k )

Would love to have something individual so fancy doing something like this.

Any help grateful

Lol no Cawood - that would be turning the Racing Puma back into a Girly Hairdressers Car.

Think about converting a 406 Coupe 3.0 into a convertible - its got a great shape and smooth ride - and you can pick them up for £3k (half decent) so the converting it to a convertible extra will prob cost me more than the car lol

I should image any decent fabricators would be able to do it but i would have thought it would cost an absolute fortune to do, money you'll probably never get back.
