You must not drive your car Taff, I'm sorry but is is not road worthy.
You'd never forgive yourself if you had an accident because of it and hurt someone.

THERES NO NEED for an adapter.. Those S1 tops should go straight on the Car..

Its S2 tops that have a deeper drilling that need an adapter... !!

If your car is a Hydractive, I've got a couple of tops you can borrow, or they might do as they are
