NB - Hardtop or new Roof?

I've had my 1999 NB for nearly a year, having purchased it off the original lady owner. It had covered only 38,000 miles when I got it, and it is in lovely condition. My dilemma is the original roof really needs replacing and can't decide whether to replace the roof with a new one or find a secondhand hardtop.

It seems the going rate for a new roof is slightly cheaper than a secondhand hardtop, not withstanding the fact I'd probably have to have it painted.

What's people's thoughts on hardtops? The car is my daily driver so is used during the winter.

Do you mean the soft top ?
If yes, how easily can you find a good second hand one ?

Good used soft tops do come up and are priced around £150 when they do but most have a small problem of some kind.
A hard top is good in the winter but you need space to store, having both is great if its driven all year round, if not then a new soft top makes more sense.

Thanks for the replies guys. Still a little undecided what to do, so I'll keep an eye out for a suitable hardtop and if nothing materialises I'll get a new soft top.
