I would guess he is in Lincs - Notts as per the details in his profile wink

I have the same issue and am going to book my Chimaera in to the Car Hood Warehouse in June while we are on holiday http://www.carhood.com/ come on very good recommendation by a buddy of mine that has used them numerous times.

That's interesting as they also recover the targa panel which is something I need to get done on mine. Thanks for the link.

That'll be the one. smile I used Mosonn in Lower Dicker, East Sussex. Excellent job at a good price but not on the OP's doorstep.

There's fella listing on ebay that'll do it for £155. Problem is Guisborough is a long way oop north for some.

Not used him myself so don't know if it's good, or if he removes the hood. Doing it in situ would be awkward. The Seat Repair Guy:

I recently got my hood replaced by Classic Car Services in Thurmaston, Leicester. I went for the lozenge rear window. The also recovered the targa section.



It folds down much better than the previous hood.

Hi thanks for the replays
Yes I'm on the Notts Lincs border along side the A1
I'll take a look at the car hood company as I don't fancy glueing the targa top section on myself
