I think the carbon roof was a factory fitted option, possibly a carbon wrap would be the option available to you, but maybe someone has done this on here that could advise you better :eusa-think:

The carbon roof is a a factory option. It would be difficult to fit aftermarket as you would need to remove the roof arches and the front and rear windows.

As mentioned, carbon wrap would be the easiest, but you could also have a look at carbon skinning. It looks more authentic than wrap but it takes more work. You may still need to take the roof arches off if you go down this route.

The carbon roof is also an add on that sits atop the standard roof. It doesn't replace it so is actually adding a reasonable amount of weight. As you're looking aftermarket, the only real option is a carbon wrap but this will have a satin finish, not that that's necessarily a bad thing. As for the carbon mirrors, yeah £260 sounds about right if they're genuine carbon. However, they won't match the wrap on the roof so I would stick with getting them wrapped too in order to keep a uniform finish. Your other alternative is getting them hydro dipped. Again, this won't match the wrap but will give the identical finish that real carbon will and will come in at a fraction of the price.
