(A roof chop is where the roof is cut off and welded on lower to make the car look very very low... Nothing to do with soft tops)

It'd end up looking like a Tigra.

I'm curious to know how you alter the windows.

the basic idea for the windows is you have to get perspex ones made or glass ones made (cost more tho)

dont know the legalities of perspex windows but for bugs and minis there are companies selling glass windows for chooped roof cars

looked into doing it before but wont look right on a corsa as its too rounded, nova would work well tho i belive

very very very impressive mod, lots of work to do if you take into concideration the roof will have a larger area as it will need to be extended front and back due to the angel of the windowscreen (if you get my point)
