Anyone have one?

I'm picking mine up on friday, but i'm worried it wont fit, due to my car being a sunroof car, and the whole headlinging hannging lower all round.

Anyone have pics of one fitted?

Needs painted & nuts/bolts bought & plates for under the car fabricated.

Can't wait to get it!

i doubt you can just cut it down unless all the bars come down perfectly vertical.

was thinking if it comes to it, remove headlining, all sunroof gubbins, then seal the glassinto place & make some little brackets up for it so it won't fall on my head, then fit std headlining, with hole cut for glass.

Or is that too bodgey?

Just weld another roof skin on?

Its not such a simple job!

But i'm liking the idea of the perspex, holding it in place may be a problem though, i may get lucky, the cage may fit, i doubt it, but you never know!
