Also to consider....
If you buy a sunroof from an R50 mini only the front section open with the tilt function, but on the current R56 model both the front and back open on the tilt function

More pics in link below of the USA custom Mini fitted with a 2005 MINI panoramic sunroof.......

Once upon a time, it started life as a 1963 Mk1 Mini, “born of goodly parents,” you might say.
Then add the metal magic – all done by Jason: A 4″ chop-top, “suicide” (front opening) doors, totally “shaved” (including the seams, gutters, handles, lights, bootlid); a re-hinged bootlid that opens to the side, and flush-fitted LED hot-rod taillights. Inside the cabin, is his-own fabricated 10-point roll cage. Outside, he grafted in a Toyota 4Runner hood scoop, then topped it all off with a sunroof plucked from a 2005 (new) MINI.
The custom fiberglass bumper is Jason’s own hand-built creation. The custom fiberglass dash and door panels are also Jason’s work.
The exterior’s finished off with a Brandy-Wine “Kandy” paint he applied himself.
Under the bonnet, Jason jammed a Honda single-overhead-cam (SOHC) VTEC engine, with a ported and polished head, ultralight JUN flywheel, MSD Ignition, APEX VTEC controller, NOS injection, cold air intake, and full stainless header and exhaust.

How closely does the curvature of the MINI compare to the Mini? Just curious to know how much re-shaping is necessary to make it fit. That kind of metalwork is not easy.
