So I'm planning a track car build with plenty of fibreglass panels involved. I have never seen one fitted and was interested to see how "factory" they look. Pics of any f/g panelled track cars would be good

I'm sure I've seen them for sale before but I've never seen one fitted. I do prefer the thought of scraping down the road on a metal roof though

I don't think it is very popular mate, I've got a carbon one to go on not fitted yet though.

Most certainly but I do plan on a full cage and some nice chap decided that my roof looked like a f######g trampoline! I can't see it being much harder than fitting your carbon roof Bazza so I'll keep an eye on your thread, looking good so far mate

Always the way that, can't see it being harder than the carbon roof, at least I'll be able to bond with fibreglass then hide with paint, I'll start a project thread when I get cracking

MMM PU Sealant and done.

IMO very worth it if yours if afflicted with a sunroof.

Not a sun roof but a badly damaged roof, always liked the idea of a f/g roof to match my planned track build

Yeah that's the formula turbojolt; you can get it from ebay a bit cheaper for the exact same stuff, searching PU.

Getting fiberglass panels to look factory will be the hard part. I consider the roof to be a step too far, but if going for it be sure to fit at least one roof diagonal into the cage.
