You could try AJ Trimming in Berkshire I got qoute for about £500.00.

I've used him for a few things

Do you mean you need your hood recovered or do you really need a complete new roof?

Yep I've a lovely new roof.... all new and black, with no snags, or rips ..... only use it in the garage to keep car interior clean (new carpets, dash et all )

Ohhh got mine at Tower View .....ohh sorry they closed before Christmas and mine was last car to roll out of their workshop.

Hi thanks for all the info. the roof itself is fine apart from a slight rip in the cover so I think I only need to have that recovered but I need a totaly new header and window at the back as the back window is so foggy now and the stitching has had it on the how back cover it really is starting to lose the will to live lol

[jonjo]

Why can't you reuse the header?

[Octopaulie]

Sorry I didnt mean the whole header just the Targa covering has had it all the stitching has come away from the velcro and the seals around the header and the back window is like a foggy day out so the whole lot needs doing but apart from that the main roof just needs new side seals and to be recovered

[Octopaulie]

wasnt you happy with hoods galore?

[jonjo]

DavidH's hoods are superior and great value IMO.

[Octopaulie]

Just got the car back from hoods galore, have to say they done a fantastic job and would recomend them to anyone looking to have anywork done.

Paul, As mentioned earlier, i plan to get mine done also in green, do you have any pics? also what was the price? and did it include new seals etc?

As soon as I get a chance I will put some pics on. It cost 450 plus the vat which was a good price I think they was going to put a new seal on but I had already replaced the seals a few weeks back all over the car anyway. It took them no time at all I left It at the site late wed night and picked it up thursday afternoon and I have to say it makes all the difference I forgot how it was to look out the back window and be able to see i think they done a great job and will use them to do my carpets later in the year
