Just a quicky, but if you were suffering the usual rusty S2 roof, could you loose the roof panel and bond it on?

Yes mate you could ,he would need to make the carbon roof thicker as it would be replacing the metal ,but mine is going over the top as its mint

Im not too sure on the roof sure it will turn out perfect and look the part once the pillars are done, just cant help thinking that the original idea of metal sunroof would of fitted the look of the car better.

Im going to get shot down now but I think its too much black up top alone, needs the pillars to be done black to help relieve it on the eye if that makes sense.
