I love having my sunroof, I use it most dry days (often just in the lifted up position as a bit of non-direct fresh air), but I like the extra light you get from a glass roof.
I see no reason why the FL 166 glass roof wont fit, but dont take that as gospel. The roof panel itself, and the whole interior are the same for the FL. it was pretty much just the nose.

Am I allowed to say the £300 doesn't sound that bad. I thought a larger item that would seldom be replaced like that would have cost alot more. Its a nice idea. I might get a tin opener and make myself a sunroof.
£300 is just the panel - I already have the sunroof gubbins.
A proper sunroof is in the region of £1k to have fitted - up and over types are cheaper, obviously (as far as I can gather from a web page I saw earlier).
I was also thinking about maybe asking an aftermarket company to modify mine, which shouldn't be too much work, I wouldn't have thought.
I've never noticed a sunroof on a FL, even in Italy, so never realised there was a glass option. I assume it has a blind which can be pulled? Go for one with solar panels in the glass, to keep the aircon working when parked up in the summer
Hitched a lift?! As in thumb out? What are the chances of a Zonda stopping? :lol:
There are lots of standard cars with glass dome roofs now. Fiat uses them and they certainly add a lot of light into the cabin. That and avoiding the dreaded black leather makes the biggest difference.
I have to say it you are keen enough to start a thread about it then you must want it. You can earn the money back but you are seldom garanted a Glass 166 sunroof to come up for sale.
Let me put it this way. How many Glass sunroofed 166's are there in britain? I saw surprised to see one!
I've got one on mine, so now you know of at least two.
......... and it's a pre facelift, 2002 51 plate - its a glass memory roof which has an auto-shut function (when left open and taking the ignition key out).
Not at all! I just want to make sure that what I might be buying is right. I've been stung on Ebay in the past and you know what they say - 'once bitten, forever smitten'.
Or was that a Vauxhall ad?
Yo degangsta...hows it hangin....whats up ma.....oops wrong movie and cant say that no more even in jest.
Long time no squeak.... have the gremlins been kind....and odd couple have goat me.
Anyway any joabs......I'm needin a wee message so as to get dacash to fill de tank ....You want Stu waisted or jist a wee hit......It will cost extra tho coz he's a big guy.
That red mist boy gets yee in trouble...I ken ken .
You always had the 166 or were you like some others converted by the banter whit ye reed oan here.
This senility is getting difficult to live with.
I now tie sting to the door handle when I leave the car at ze adsa car park.When finished I rewind the string and find ze car.....Dead easy....Last week some smart ass cut the string and tied it to one of those big lamp standards...went roon in circles for hoors I can tell ye.....Then when all the cars were away around four in the mornin I saw pomeo and got home...Fortunately the wife had nae money in her PAYG to phone me but I still goat hell when I goat in.
Lookin forward to those pics of the sunroof.
Pomeo
PS Check yer brake pipes...No coz I cut then BUT that wee gremlin called rusty.
Text used correctly would not cause a problem (tone of text is the problem maker).
You missed the word 'GENUINE' from your 'never doubt sunroof statement'. If you want to know what the options were, you should read an options list
Playing is not a problem, tone is
No, it does not mean that you are more honest - maybe that you do not 'think before you ink'
You received a polite warning because I have observed some of your comment and appologies of the past in other posts, and gave you the benefit of doubt.
So, matter closed
For the record, 166's came with the option of electic, glass auto roof (Webasco, if I remember correctly - as I can't be bothered to go outside to look at the moment), but I will look, note and post tomorrow if you are interested
......... may even take pics for you, if you ask nicely
