Is it really worth it? Does your car have air con?

That's a lot of money for an extra bit of ventilation, especiialy given you'll get none of it back when you sell on.

Not only will you get nothing back for it, you will probably decimate the value of you car.

If you want a sunroof find a car with it already, thats what I did, however they are quite rare, as most people went for aircon (as it was free if no roof was spec'd). The sunroof was an £797 option, so not many went for it.

As the others have already stated, it really is not worth it. Sunroofs (rooves?) are no longer in vogue a factory fit sunroof will add little or nothing to the value of a car, an aftermarket one will add even less and may well reduce the resale value.

That will be at least £1200 down the drain. Don't do it. Aftermarket sunroofs always, always look sh1te.
