Your gonna have some problems then if you want a proper functional roll cage. The FIA ones are not designed for use in sunroofed cars as FIA states sunroofs are not allowed. I know for a fact that Sparco, OMP and the CORSA Safety Devices wont fit properly unless you want to chops bits off the sunroof frame making it useless. If you were serious about a proper cage i'd get the sunroof removed and plated over but that wont be cheap.
I think stoney ginger off here managed to get a Nova Safety Devices half cage in his Corsa but its the front parts that are the really hard parts to fit. Ive looked into this a lot as I used to really want a cage for my 5door Corsa and was going to go to the Roll Centre and get a custom one welded in but that wouldnt be cheap...

So you can get a safety devices one to fit... I spoke to them quite a lot and they said there's no way it will fit with a sunroof as its tight against the roof and the bar that comes across is right in the way!! Whats yours made from as there are two material choices with safety devices...

CDS or ERW, take a look at there website, Im hoping you have CDS at the price you paid otherwise I feel you've had your leg lifted...
Sparco one at Tweeks is a full 6pt bolt in cage WITH doorbars and im sure its in the region of £300-£340 and FIA approved.
