Further to my previous thread it would seem my hood is beyond economical repair, so looks like time for a new one.

Any recommendations? There seem to be a lot of places that specialise in this, as opposed to regular trimmers. CarHoodsDirect in Tunbridge Wells, for example.

Looking for something OEM or as close to as possible - problem with current hood is that it is aftermarket, or rear screen replacement would have been possible. Lead time also important - can't drive car due to security/weatherproofing reasons, so would like to be able to get it done within a week or so if possible...

Speak to Mark, fantastic attention to detail. Is very busy though so might not be able to do it really quick but worth a call to check.

I've already spoken to them and sadly they are booked up for at least 2 months.

What are the big hood warehouse places like?

Never used one myself I like to use the small guys who care. Heres another that might be worth a try. They did a full re-trim on my T5 with great results

My Boxster one was done under warranty by The Car Hood Warehouse in Chessington. Seem pretty good & were very fair as the previous owner fitted it 4-5 years previous & when the rear window started to come unstuck changed it without charge under the lifetime warranty. No arguments!
