Yep very, seen the one Luca on passionford has fitted from performance trim to his fiesta turbo.Originally Posted by chip
Are you confident you can fit a carbon fibre roof to the standard you want?
And where have you found one for 400 quid, as that is very reasonable IMHO
Performance trim will make them for £418+vat but i need to get another 4 corsa owners interested so its worth them making the mould.
I have another option far closer to home and am just waiting on them firming up a price for me. They will make just one lightweight mould and use it just the once for a similar price to performance trim.

Good effort Rick, coming together well or should I say apart lmao
Carbon roof idea would be different, obviously not exactly required but its good to be different, plus having no roof will give Nortech a easier time fitting this cage this time round.
bah, mine come off better then that lmao
Carbon roof sounds cool, are you going to leave it unpainted?
I'm really looking forward to seeing this take shape! Looks like an excellent shell.
Teeth? LUXURY! When I was a child we ate by putting rocks in our mouth and jumping up and down.
that rear quater on the old shell was an easier job than the roof on this one haha!
you were probably looking at a couple of hundred quid in materials for the quater panel, couldnt you have got a mate to help prep it up cheeper?
seems as though you are going around in circles here bud! you would have saved your self another big body job by simply asking if it was a sunroof or non sunroof model before you bought it! lol
never mind.
Dirrrrty dog!
How do you figure that one out? Carbon roof is just bonded on and will look right or a whole new standard panel that will only require spotting inplace and sealing up.
The old rear quarter would never look right and you would always be able to tell it had been bogged up.
O and i did ask if it was a sunroof model or not before i got it but got no reply. It was worth a risk as the rest of it is spot on.

mate had a new roof panel welded in on his saxo came to 500quid all in and that was at a main stream body shop.
really?
the roof skin alone for my astra is 500quid!
roof skin was only 150 odd for a saxo :|
Can get a genuine corsa roof skin for £220.

I actually somehow missed the page that said about the carbon roof so my apolgise's there. the carbon roof sounds good and will save weight, will look tough aswell!
the quater wouldnt have looked bodged up if it was repaired by a quality panel beater but thats gone now, so on wards and upwards. lookin forward to seeing the roof!
Dirrrrty dog!
Trying to decide if i should have the seat rails done like this or not? Can anyone see any advantage or disadvantage in leaving the standard metal section in that spans the car?
Back in the scene
advantage: it stiffens the shell more in a side impact
disadvantage: its heavy and may get in the way.
Id say its requirement is mitigated by the seat rails if they are done right so Id remove it
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, thoroughly used, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming... "f*ck, what a trip!"

Don't see the point of keeping the standard rails if you're welding in new ones. Mine have been removed

JR its one that custom cages had prepped that they sent out on a cd with the old cage.
I am going to try and avoid removing it, will save me drilling out a lot of spot welds! Will see for proper tomorrow if one of the seats arrives!
Back in the scene
I think I'd be tempted to leave it in for backwards compatibility, but I'm weird like that. lmao
Teeth? LUXURY! When I was a child we ate by putting rocks in our mouth and jumping up and down.
looks like the seat will be a fair way back??
