FFS. What is it with carbon people. Can't get anyone to make new parts and them that already have moulds are all too busy doing 'other' work.

know what you mean but above any other reason it would actually be the easiest way for me to replace my roof. Fucking about welding in an old roof skin from a regular mk4 just doesn't seem the best idea.

Has nine done by Phil last year. Did take a while but he is up to his eyes with contract work so doesn't want to take orders on just yet, to then have to let people down.

But as said above, defo worth waiting for him... Mine is like a work of art
