You could, Id be worried though about flex and cracking tbh
the way I reckon it can be done, if you have the carbon roof bonded to metal tabs of somesort and then welded up from the inside
at least then its going to be attatched and not bonded..
the tabs would be quite strong too if they are bonded in with the carbon

Thanks for all the comments Still not 100% if im going to bond over or cut the roof off ,im thinking bonding as i dont want to weaken the shell in any way
Oh i have a few bits in the vac bags at the carbon place as we speak ,hoping to get some piccys soon
