Anton green 12 1 Cars Posted December 28, 2012 Has anybody replaced a roof panel on here? At present my 205 has a riveted plate in place, but it would be nice to have the usual aesthetically pleasing one piece panel in place. Is it a realistic job to do or quite involved?

dcc 855 Posted December 28, 2012 There was a thread where a entire roof was replaced with a carbon item. From memory the car now has a 1.1 tu 8v and a front exit exhaust! Cant remember the owners name sorry! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cybernck 402 1 Cars Posted December 28, 2012 It has been shown in more than one topic. Slightly involving but perfectly feasible thing to do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Henry Yorke 269 3 Cars Posted December 28, 2012 It would have been Carl Chambers who bonded a carbon skin onto the roof of his 205 to cover up the sunroof. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've swapped them before, not a massive amount to it really. The hardest part IMHO is the separating of the A pillars. I have some pics on my photobucket account click the link below.

Anton green 12 1 Cars Posted December 28, 2012 (edited) http://forum.205gtidrivers.com/index.php?showtopic=130231 Suggests the cost will be approximately similar for a roof skin in either painted metal, or carbon fibre, which will be something I will hopefully be weighing up early next year after my engine/ecu springs in to life.
