No mate take the whole sunroof assembly out, remove the tray the sunroof sits in then plate over the hole and bond the carbon roof on top. Headlining will have a custom one made up through work. Get all trimming done on the cheep u see

Based in Goodwood mate the other side of Chichester. Rolls have never been in Derby only Goodwood (last 10 years) and Crewe (years ago with Bentley). RR Aerospace may be in Derby that build the jet engines?
