its a big job, i have seen it done before when the a,b and c pillars were cut and a new roof stuck in its place.

might be better to find a better shelled RS if it isnt too modded, or you could unpick the roof skin but its joined at the gutter so is a big job!

A few years back my mate dave did this on a mates car (before the carbon ones were about)we found a non sunroof car and he unpicked the skin and transfered it to his turbo
