hoods

[fergusgorman]

anyone know of where I can get a new hood for my 350i 87. Looking a bit tatty especially rear window! How much do you think it would be also? How about the hard lift out top section aswell?

Cheers
Fergus

I have this web site saved..

I think a hood is around 500 GBP.. not sure of their price though.

Prices on theeir site are a LOT less than this 180-220 for hood (rear) 52-60 for targa top (depends on quality). I assume a rear window is included. If anyone contacts them, please let us know what they need to supply a hood/targa top (eg. frame, original, etc) - Streaky

Try Renovo

Yep. As S/S.

Yep - I've used Renovo (about £25) to get the colour back then use either Grangers tent sealer (£12) or Thompsoms weather sealer...

It brings a tired hood back to life.
