IIRC, that's about £1k less than sixspeed paid for his - albeit a god few years ago.

£475 in the group buy. I wonder how much it would increase the insurance.

Don't forget that it's not a finished fit item...you will need to do some stripping down, drilling and refitting to get it to fit nicely...unless you simply want the inside to look like a race car :P

Yes, I remember sixspeed's pioneering efforts back in 2007.

Yep it's gonna be an effort. Plus it will need a clear coat to stop yellowing over time. I got a few very small dents in my roof, so this is gonna be perfect for me. :thumbsup:

The Geoff Steel page for this item states that shouldn't be a problem:
Geoff Steel website wrote:This item is manufactured using high quality, UV resistant resins and so there is no issue of the roof becoming “milky” after prolonged time in the sun

Even though there's a huge part of me screaming out what a fiddle it's likely to be, that it takes away originality and pretty much serves no purpose, I still really like the idea of one. 8)

But then it might look a bit daft on a standard car, I'd have to at least change the wheels.....Maybe a little drop to make the most of them.....Oh s**t, I've been here before :(
