   Hey guys would like your opinion on fake panoramic roofs?
   I was at vauxhall the other day and saw a white corsa with one.
   Looked smart! so got me thinking if it would look good on my vtr?
   Its silver, slammed on gloss black vtr rims and smoked windows.
   What you think?

   Well... a real panoramic roof would be all tinted glass, so a fake one would be a roof sprayed in gloss black

   Ah right. Didn't know painting your roof black was also known as having a "fake panoramic roof"...

   Been done already: Only difference is that mine had a little flake added which matches the colour of the car

    Soz mate but I didn't spray it or anything. My girlfriends uncle owes a body shop in my area so he did it all. Bit of a shit pic as it was a crap day.
