i wouldnt. you'll c.ock your roof up and then you'll have a wobbly mini. I CERTAINLY wouldnt put a sunroof from another car on it.

plenty of people have fitted sunroofs from other cars into minis - infact there was a thread about this yesterday if i remember correctly - I've seen tigra sunroofs fitted - Micra etc -

It's not hard to fit - be careful cutting and measure a million times before taking the plunge. Minis with sunroofs as standard have no additional strengthening in the shell and aren't wobbly - it's just dropped in the hole that's cut out and screwed in.
