From what i've read on the US Forums, the Hardtop makes the M151A2 much more top heavy (rollover potential) and painfully loud.
Post up some pics of your paint work.

Hallo Scotty,
thank you for the reply,
for the true some years ago i already installed the alluminium enclosure (in a detachable way) and i have to say that is not that heavy, the whole stuff with the doors is not much heavier than the ROPS set.
I make personally the change in spring and autumn, true anyway the care to be used in the steep turns (also with the ROPS), a price to pay for the winter comfort
even the loudness is not that bad.
Here are some pics, i found one more stencil painted 74-22375 behind the civil registration label.
I also made some color matching test with a Federal Standard Color FS595A.
I hope that this will be helpful for reference in re-creating the colors.
Please look at the numbers and not at the colors in the pics, the light changed them pretty much.
It seems that my M151 was painted as base color with the 34258, it shows up in the clutch and brake pedals, on the bumpers where the 74-22375 was painted, on the seat belts attachments and almost everywhere i had to sand deep, also the wooden box which was placed as bench seat in the back of the car shows the same color (i will post the box pic as son as possible).
it looks really like the British Challenger tank faded green color.
