Next mod on it's way...
Yes, the car is still in for it's exhaust (hopefully back Thurs!), but I just arranged the shipping today for the next mod..
Not sure whether to spill the beans or keep it as a surprise yet (although I have let it slip on another forum).. What I will say is that it's nice and light

It was on Zpost, and yes, 155 is right. I guess it wasn't much of a secret (just on here).
Ordered the carbon roof panel from the TC Kline Carbon Coupe. It's being collected by DHL tomorrow, and will be with me 3 days from then...
Quite looking forward to seeing it on the car. Not *as* keen on taking my existing roof off...
Oh well, nothing ventured, nothing gained..

Probably not as much as to make it that worthwhile, for weight saving alone. On the M6, CSL etc, the roof panel is much bigger hence there's more reason for doing it there.
However, i'm doing it half for the "look" anyway. I'll let you know the weight differences when we get the old roof off and the two side by side. I'll make sure I have some bathroom scales handy

Haha.. rumbled
Wondermike, apparently (according to the guys from TC Kline), it's just bolted on, with bonding around the edge for waterproofing. We thought this might be the case (well, a bodyshop owning friend of mine) when I first got the car and were looking around it. But it's nice to know that someone else has done the hard work and done it before me to confirm that.
