Say I suddenly had much too much cash, what would be the best choice of carbon e86 roof? With mounts.

I don't have this myself (yet!), so I can't say whether this is considered the "best" or not, but as it's the only option I'm aware of, sharing it for consideration: https://www.geoffsteel.co.uk/shop/bmw-e86-z4-roof-skin/
I could be mistaken, but I think there may be some members who have installed this as well.

Exactly. However there are 4 screws also holding the OE skin on, I'm not sure if they are provisioned for with the Geoff steel one but I imagine they are not really necessary, the bond is very strong. Goke also make one, I seem to remember it's more money but it's probably a dry layup rather than wet.

good roof, though furbishment was a little hit and miss. Some roofs were packed very nicely indeed (mine included), whereas some other left a lot to be desired, and arrived with damage. some also had hair/dust inside the layup, whereas mine was done very nicely. it was a little hit and miss. I believe GS ended up sorting it all out, however lots were delayed.
nice piece of kit. love mine.

Would you have a link for this by any chance? Not having much luck googling this, and would be great to see some of the other options out there.

Actually, think I've found it - Crest Automotive appears to be the seller/distributor for these products now: https://www.catune.co.uk/products-Y2FyX ... pZD04.html
