Who has had a new roof that was a good fit???

[mikeb]

I am toying with the idea of getting the roof done (on the Wedge not the house!).

All the ones that I have seen that have been replaced have either looked like that they are slightly too small or don't seem to be as good a quality as the original item ie. no rubber seals stitched into the roof material or lacking a proper thick plastic window material or the centre roof panel edging seems to be lacking a bit (the bit above the door windowsthat stops the rain coming in when it throws it down).

Any comments recommendations, pictures or prices of who to go to.....???

HI Mike,

I've had two hoods done at Martrim.
Very good jobs both times and a bargain at £450 (Maybe +VAT )

Talk to Josh and tell him Bob with the red wedge sent you.

Agree with Bob. Martrim did a great job of replacing mine last year. A word of warning....I wouldn't buy one off the shelf. The cars are all different and they are not usually symmetrical so there is a good chance it won’t fit.

If you're interested I still have my brand new ORIGINAL TVR rear hood for sale. It's in black, and I have found a supplier of matching mohair for the targa panel.

Ahh shizer! mines in blue and I quite like it that colour as it sort of goes with the car colour in general. I don't think that black would go(?).

How much you want for it out of interest?.

if you still have that rear hood , what price will you sell it for.

[bobfrance]

I saw a complete black hood for sale on ebay a couple of days ago.
It wasn't new though.

I'll join the line for the hood too!
How much?

IIRC Pistolar is also flogging a hood on Ebay...
