I don't want a custom job, as it would be too pricey as well as too much hassle! Ther must be a company that makes these parts!

No roof there, but quite nice link none the less! Any other links to carbon interior bits for corsa?

Apparantly there is a shortage of CF at the mo
This is a statement from Kaminari USA :

=================================================
Urgent Notice!

Due to severe global shortages of carbon fiber material, Kaminari USA has slowed production of our Carbon Fiber Hoods and other Carbon Fiber body components.

We currently are limited to items in stock so please call to see if what your looking for is in our warehouse.

We deeply apologize that Kaminari USA has been forced to make this business decision, however our suppliers have drastically raised wholesale pricing due to production unable to meet demand. Most bulk supplies have been funneled toward military and aerospace industries. As soon as we can secure material at a realistic price structure, we will resume production.

I asked marcus about the possibilities for this winter and he said pretty much anything is do-able for the right price. If you have a roof made I am having one too mate it will go with the rest of this winters plans

its a skin. a certain CS member told me a while back however that he was having a full roof made, and then having it fitted, not a skin, an entire roof. presumably it would be crimped on somehow above your roof lining?!
