save alot of weight, changes centre of gravity so better handleing, plus I got bore whilst in traffic and poked a whole in the spot they rust in when the drain pipes get blocked

Just a suggestion: Get a roof skin from a 1.1 as they didnt have sunroofs and use that.........

Think iirc correctly its about 150 for the panel and about £250 for it to be fitted. Think thats about right. Get a carbon rook mate. lol.

it is the wrong section as its not an engine mod
but its not really styling either


anyway i did mine with a peice of 2mm thick aluminium some sealant and some pop rivets
not exactly the tidyest job as i dont care how it looks as i will be changing the skin eventually

i can see why people want to lose the sunroof but to do it that way look silly to me. would of put either a roof skin on or blended it in.
