Sunroof removal ....

[mark1311]

looks reali good to me, and looks like it replaces orginal roof skin to me, shame he's not making saxo bonnets

[SaxoMuffin]

Yeah I'm sure it is but just needs new cross bars I assume...

These would do the trick if you're extreme with the weight saving

Carbon roof is no use for MSA motorsport though...

[adamskiTNR]

Do the msa not approve of them in any application? apart from manufacturer applications such as m3's. i guess if you roll it turns into a splintering blade

[benkelsall]

Im sure it is a roof cover thing on RR.

Body (including aerodynamics)

in construction, dimension and material. The silhouette
will be taken in the condition in which the car competes

I might just go for the replacement panel.

the streamline roof skins can just bond in, you dont need to buy the new cross bars from streamline at all, i would reccomend fitting the non sunroof skinned roof bow in the middle though, i think anyone going proply into motor sport should go for the proper roof skin and not the patching method

[Dave_P]

What ever's cheapest apart from riveting a bit of ali onto the roof!

No point in bonding on a C/F skin on top of a metal one for motorsport.

Its just for the tarts & there handbags...

can you weld?

[Dave_P]

My pal welds & owns a bodyshop.

[mark1311]

sweet, get him to order u a skin, i think there bout 140 to public he propsget it cheaper, get screen out bout 15 quid out same bk in, then its litterali a day job, drill spot welds out weld new skin in, screen in done, they come in balck so wouldt look to bk just left or get him to spray it cheap easyerly done for 200 diy, i duno weather u class tht as alot or not...

[Dave_P]

I think it'd work out more than £200 all in.

A replacement panel on the other hand would work out cheaper.

[mark1311]

tradr price,...

skin 130
bow 12
screen in and out 30
spot weld bit 5
1/4 liter paint for spray gun 8
1/4 clear 8
da disk 50p...
(roofs come primed)

=about 190

[Dave_P]

You missed out labour...

[mark1311]

yer like i said 200 for diy, next time i do one at work, would it be usefull to make a guide up? liek i say its litterali case so drilling few holes and few bits weld.

[Dave_P]

A guide would be a good idea.

[mark1311]

i will get one up when i next do one, actuali have 1 or 2 booked in, in the next couple months.

.

just rivet it and put silicone for the rain...used plexiglass 4mm...colored blue.

I emailed one for the Scottish hillclimb eligibility scrutineers about fitting one of these sunroof replacement panels in place of the sunroof and he was happy enough that it would be within the rules to do so in the production "A" classes.
