Carbon roof arrived.

[Vanne]

This group buy went ahead a few months back, and just a few days ago while I was on tour this arrived.
Mine arrived in one piece, and they obviously took lessons from Chris (zpost) in packaging.

Great stuff from your guys over at Geoff Steel.
The super technical diagram I drew while drinking a few JD's in Bali at the resort pool bar when I ordered it to match my hood.

Now to get clear coated and then to get this baby on.

This is not a skin, it's a replacement roof.

More carbon Vanne! Would be interested to know the weight saving over standard.

how much of a job is it to change?

[TomK]

Perfectly DIYable, drop the roof lining, undo 4 bolts, then using cutting wire free the roof panel from the old sealant.
New sealant, fix and allow the new panel to bond, reattach roof lining.
Weight saving is about 5kg.

Looks amazing! Always wanted to do this mod to my M but never got round to it! Sixspeeds looked the balls with this seem to remember he posted a fitting post him and couple of mates fitting it in a garden.

Looks awesome

I was never really a carbon guy before I got the Zed, then slowly (not that slow to be honest) I started to add a bit more carbon here and there. Now I would literally die for a carbon hardtop for the roadster to add to the front diffuser, carbon sideskirts, spoiler and mirrors!!

That’ll look the mutts nuts

Yeah its about 5kgs, i guess i could have shed more if i just went to the gym.

Will see, having it clear coated atm. no idea when it will be ready. The shop is like that.

once its back ill test fit it, one of my mates has the same roof and needs to sand a few mills from the bottom of the corner support as it was up a little..

hope it fits nicely.
