Has anyone ever had there corsa roof reskinned? All the welds are hidden under the roof rails/gutters arnt they so other than removing the front window it shud be fairly straightforward for a body shop to do.

Yes and its not like a nova where you have to worry about the finished look as it is all under the roof gutters. Very easy to bond it all down and you could bond it behind the windscreen and tailgate rubber.

I wouldn't say easy, but it could be done...

For a Carbon roof you would expect to pay somone about £1000+ for just the roof. As the mould would have to be custom made which is very time consuming. Plus the materials are reletively expensive.
