Me too. I may be showing my age here, but they look really comfy !

Iv been hurtled round at great speen in my mates gt3 and the seats truely are, very comfy. Did you see the jetta in pvw the other month which had the gt3 seats, daes and console in? tbh i wasnt sure about the dash coz of how rounded it all was with the squareness of the car but the seats looked great.

What have people on e38 said about the sunroof? what are you doin with it?

U read that then eh!!

Never heard a word until someone posted up loads of neg comments, i prob dropped the ball on that one as i should have that area sorted. TBH im still not sure what im gonny do, the options are either weld it up (ie 1 new roof), another sunroof the same, a larger sunroof or a rag roof, at the moment i just cant decide.  Im not in a rush at the moment tho as the car is gettin primed then the bay, interior , underside and arches are getting painted........ then the engine etc is gowing in,  the rest of the car will be painted there after.

i always imagine it to be very elitist

im with you mate not 100% where to go from here and aye its an aftermarket wun

Ive got another nice 3dr MK1 that i can use as donor for the roof if need be or the money to throw at a fancy sunroof if need be, but im still not sure whats the right thing to do. I know people frown upon sunroofs but for me as long as it suits the car then im not fussed. I think the obvious solution it to whack on a new roof but thats what everyone would do........

Well X5pea

 what i was goin to do was try n butcher in a Glass number from a mk3 totally dofferent and something ive never seen before , no idead how impossible it will be or if its somethin that youd concider , just an idea that i had 

[x5pea]

I think if i was going with a sunroof, which i do quite like by the way, id prob go for a new electric one

im not sure, i was planning to pop down the garage 2 day and pondor the idea

an electric one would be cool

been getting a bit of a neg comments on E38 for the sunroof

Really ! You do surprise me. 

One person will criticise on there and all the other sheep tend to follow, it's pathetic really. You seem to know what you want out of this project so I say stick to your guns and do it as you want it.

I'm still not sure why there is so much negativity about a sunroof, I've got one on my Rallye and I wished it wasn't there the other month as the damn thing was leaking until I got a new seal.

I think an electric one would be quality. When doing a project like this, making an old car look new, why not add in modern touches too? The seats are out of a new car and no one will moan about those im sure, I dont see why wou shouldnt put in a sunroof from a newer car too! I say go for it! Your the one who's doin the work and goin to be sayin, yeah, thats my car, so as long as you can do that and be happy then thats all that matters!
