dunno you would have to get the roof cut off, take it to a carbon specialist to get a mould made, and then somehow reweld it back on?

sounds a bit dodgy to me lol

Roof damage = write off.
Sorry to say but the car is worthless to anyone but yourself now. Just fill it with filler and spray it. There is little or no chance of changing to a carbon roof and even replacing a roof is a job which very few gararages would want to attempt.
Why didnt you claim on insurance and then get another car?

when your young like me ( 19 ) claiming on your insurance is the last thing you wanna do, especially at a bodyshop there prices are mad, would probably double his insurance

I know a specialist who can do this for you mate at a cost though, if you really wanted it done. Approx 700-800 for the roof to be done. They do not effect the structural points of the car.

have you tried taking the roof lining out and hammer and dollying the dents out i bet you could remove nearly all the dent out that way so hardly any filler would be used??

you know the saying, what you pay is what you get? it's true.

a quality carbon roof that will hold the test of time, (and a person walking on it) and actually BE lightweight will cost at least 2-2500 euros.
