That is one nice CF roof

[nikilah]

odd thing is that the only other cf roof i have seem was on an mpi with almost exactly the same colour paintwork. but that doesnt mean it doesnt look cool as £$%^ though.

Yep they are not cheap...but what I looked at was the cost of a steel one and how difficult the steel one is to fit! the steel one has a rolling weld all the way around so it seals properly and I haven't got that kind of equiptment (who has)
The roof had to be changed due to a dodgy sunroof that had been fitted years ago, there were no replacement seals available for it and it leaked like a sive so this was the best option and I don't have to paint it

Thanks for your comments and every one else for that matter. its a labour of love really and over the years of playing with Minis I have always maintained a have a go attitude and often tell others to have a go as well, you will be amazed what YOU can do if you really want to. This is the only Mini I have restored without a finnal look in mind. The whole thing so far is still under the price of a new shell!!!
Gonna start the interia this week end

Just started on the roof lining this weekend...what a pain of job with a cage in!
Also managed to finish off the doors with new alloy skins...super light now
