I was thinking of removing my sunroof from my e30 m3.

Anyone have any alernative solutions other than just covering the hole with a plate?

Any ideas welcome

Thanks

new roof skin or carbon firbre plate. What else is there other than sticking a umbrella through the hole?

Theres a guy in the group buy section who is looking for enough people interested to do a one off run.

Otherwise you'll have to commision someone or learn to lay up CF yourself.
