lol@LMB.. with ya all the way!

Sunroof adds about 3% to the car's mass - you'd need a good induction kit to counter the impact it'd have on your acceleration, and of course, there's more mass to stop when you're on the brakes. You could probably live with that.

But... the extra weight up top will act like a pendulum, working against you in corners. Why not skip the s/r and put the £500 towards a brake upgrade

It'll corner better and stop better

Mart get the Sunroof.. looks cool and the car feels more airy. you can always get an upgrade stereo yes but you can't add a sunroof in a few months time

well not unless you have a good jigsaw

Shamster · Jun 19th, 2003, 04:58 AM

Martin - they all seem to have a common trait - no sunroof on their cars!

Don't listen to them - they're all jealous!

Speedd · Jun 19th, 2003, 05:00 AM

and also get that advanced driving course booked you might not need to upgrade the barkes so soon theen cause you will get taught the art of breaking

I let you in on a secret....you wouldn't know this but...

Sunroof = uncool...

stephen_cy_wong · Jun 19th, 2003, 05:03 AM

Guys I seen the roof being glued on in the factory.

The glue might melt and the weight of the Sunroof may make it a low rider

Dom · Jun 19th, 2003, 05:03 AM

i've got a sunroof on my car... but then, it's a hell of a lot lighter!

what's the point in a sunroof if you have air con?

Speedd · Jun 19th, 2003, 05:19 AM

Dom · Jun 19th, 2003, 05:20 AM

why do you want more light? you should be looking outside the car, not in it!

Speedd · Jun 19th, 2003, 05:22 AM

Officer I had a sunroof but the pheasant just stepped out

Speedd · Jun 19th, 2003, 05:23 AM
