I was wondering how much of a job it would be. I have decided to just rivet a plate over, its not pretty but its effective. its the cheapest and simplest solution :D

We looked at it Dave.

When I say 'we', I mean I asked a bloke who knows what he's doing with rally car shells to look at it. :wink:

'We' were considering taking the sunroof'd roof off the red compact to replace the Sparco rubbish with a properly fitted weld-in cage, while I used the blue car....

As you know - 'we' crashed it instead to save the hassle. :lol:

It wasn't viewed as being a major issue, sourcing a straight replacement roof skin might be, tho? :?: :idea:

Why don't you offer more than £6.37 for notax's rolling shell and sell the bolt-in cage? :idea:

:D just an idea, can't see the problem as it's a straight forward panel with no pillar work. but the cost of the panel might kill off the idea and maybe easier to find a non sunroof model??
