This is the same chap that I bought my motorsport roof from, good seller item arrived fairly quickly and in one piece.

Much prefer the motorsport engine cover that DaveOz has on his blue beasty…

How do you know that

i used to have one. i was going to get another to mould but i just used a standard roof and started the extended scoop from scratch as there’s a lot of work in that roof to get all the ripples out. If you have a look you can still see the line where that standard roof vent ends even in that small picture, theres also a big dip in each side which you can make out in the middle of each side. That needs a lot of filler. Dave the engine covers can get the slats cut as big as you like there cut in after its made.

Apologies if this sounds a little pedantic but that’s not a motorsport roof, it’s a standard roof with an extended (high lift!) scoop. The rear edge is very different on a Motorsport roof.

Ms roof have a straight end, no handle for the rear wing (and anightmare if you want to fit one)

I think they are pattern parts, I took mine out the box last night and to be honest I dont really know what I am looking for ripple-wise but the engine cover looks pretty nicely finished to my eye, very smooth. It will certainly look a lot better than my tarnished perspex one.

I wont be fitting it or painting it myself so I`ll leave that up to the pros to comment on.
