Correct me if I'm wrong.

Griff/Chim roof panels are identical aren't they.

ie a chim roof panel 'should' fit a griff?

After experimenting with my panel on several cars both Griffiths and Chimaeras I can confirm they are all the same.
There may have been subtle adjustments made with filler at the time of assembly but they are interchangeable

Yep the same. You could try another Griffith Roof and it may fit less snuggly than another Chimeara roof. They were made to measure(ok no laughing at the back) and finished of to that particular car.. and i guess depending whether you have changed targa seal etc on how well they may fit.

Is there a mark 1 and mark 2?? I know there is a mk1 and mk2 on the window seals, just wondering if they're slightly different?

No the roof panel is essentially the same, any minor differences, as I mentioned above, were sorted using filler.

Cool. The only reason I ask the question is that mine is not quite sitting low enought at the front. Just wondering if its had a roof change at some point. Or more likely I guess that its had a windscreen change..
