   the car has a small patch of rust at the top of the windscreen on the passengers side...
   
   the bst way to go about it would be??
   
   
   had a few ideas to have it vynaled over (do the whole roof in black) wont solve the problem but should cover it for abit)
   
   or new roof skin (if i did that could i go for a 106 gti as they dont have a sun roof)
   
   cheers

   You could get a carbon fiber roof
   
   IMO the best way to sort it is
   
   Take it to a body shop an let them sort it

   Get a new sunroof less skin from citroen, they was £105 + plus vat last time i enquired about one. Its recommended you get new cross members while doing this
   
   Then get a body shop to fit it
