Don't know a thing about carbon fibre but is it possible to paint? If you don't like it paint it white?

You can buy them a lot cheaper primed instead of laquered.

Have you put a non sunroof headlining in? Never been keen on sunroofs myself. Do you cut the roof and bond this on or stick over top?

.

Did you have the roof cut out or have you left the original skin underneath.
I really want one for mine, my roof is fine it's just the right rear corner of the sunroof tray is fucked so i could just remove the tray part and leave the rest, I've seen a some done with the skin left underneath but you can see the sunroof opening very faintly as if it's sagged a bit.

Anyone got one on a grey S2?????
