Hi all, im looking into getting a carbon fibre roof for my s2 as mine is rusty (as usual). Ive read that you cant do it without a roll cage....is this true? as i really want to keep my mint interior with that rear seats. cheers guys.

no problem just cut the rot out and bond the carbon one on

people often have a roll cage as if the car flips up on its roof in a crash etc they like the added protection seen as a carbon roof is pretty much just glued on in effect to a bit of metal round the edge lol

thanks guys. so i can just cut the skin off and leave the "frame" then bond the carbon roof to that.

yes mate. if you look in the resto section 'twins' has done it to his track car and theres a few pics

got 1 on my project car,got it from carbon delight,told to cut 4 inches in from side gutters and screen,although you dont loose any strength as you have the frame still people recomend rollcage for safety.
