Has anyone out there relpaced the targa top recently?

Only had mine 3 months and when I brought it, the rest of the roof was quit new. The problem is the targa top is old and it looks old. I would like to now how much this would cost to replace as it spoils the look of an otherwise fantastic car.

Why not just get it recovered in new mohair - alot cheaper than replacing the lot - new one may not fit as well either.

Renovo hood colour restorer works wonders on the fabric parts, though if the plastic screen is cloudy/scratched their scratch restorer leaves a bit to be desired.

Just been at Peninsula - New hood in navy mohair including new everything £650 plus vat being fitted in a fortnight. (Just to clarify, that's a recover of the carbon fibre hard top, not a new panel.)

£950 + vat - That's because you have a TVR sir, clearly you are loaded and have more money than sense!
No, actually I spend my money carefully, which is why I have a TVR and not a Eurobox. Please, if you want to take my trousers down, you will have to buy me dinner and make me feel special first.
