Need not be too expensive!

What you need....

One Hood From these guys in the States
http://stores.ebay.com/Diamond-Mall

I went for the most expensive German OE Cloth option with the exchange rate the way it is cost just over £200 delivered! (they do also do a 'twilfast option' thats about £25 cheaper) comparable hoods in the UK & Europe are £350-£400!

I'm no expert but the fabric, machining & finish look excellent to me

One DVD of the original factory training video on ebay at £10.99 delivered

Large can of Evostick & a tube of lack silicone sealant cost £10-£15

Took about 12hrs or so and as always the first time you do a job always a couple of bits you'd do quicker/better/differently but heres the results





Total cost of the job less than £250!
