My car did not have a sunroof. I retrofitted a factory sunroof exactly the same way as it comes from the factory.

With the money you spend on the sun-roof, you should have purchased a new digital camera instead~

I agree.

Nice job though, I'm sure it wasn't easy or cheap.

Have you had it out in the rain yet? Any leaks?

Not yet,

I still work on it. Full exterior '06 facelift and amglift, full interior amglift, c32 leatherseats, full memory seats, heated seats, parktronic, command with tv tuner, oem handsfree, illuminated door sills, dimming/folding/memory mirrors, full amg full suspension and springs, amg brakes, cd changer and aux, amg instrument cluster, full interior change from grey to black, new style 3 18" amg alloy wheels, amg exhaust. Too much work at the moment....

You've done all that or you're planning to do it?

IMO you'd be better off selling your car and buy the car you're tryng to make yours out to be...for less money

Almost done, Hopefully 1-2 more weeks and everything is ready! I agree it is cheaper sometimes to purchase a car with full options, however I already have the modding bug inside me. To be honest you get more pleasure when you modify your car yourself rather than buying it brand new with all the options. Also the knowledge I gained in the process is invaluable!

I really can't see anything.... but making a big hole on the non-sunroof option car can be dangerous since you make the whole body structure a lot weaker.

WRONG! I did not make a hole in my roof! I replaced the whole roof panel with factory sunroof panel, sunroof tray, sunroof glass etc, everything was replaced according to oem standards with all genuine mercedes parts.. Structure as good as factory sunroof car.

i think you should just buy a c32/c55 amg, this is not worth the money, time or effort if you ask me but to each his own
