How bad is it.
If it's not torn, it can be re-coloured and re-water profed.

A new roof will set you back a shade under £400 if you buy it from Autohoods - they will charge you another £250 to fit. I have made contact with a Trimmer who will knock one out for £400 including fitting - I tapped him up during a visit to a well known TVR establishment. He will need to take your existing hood away to make it up - which is fine if you have a garage....

I'm toying with buying another hood from Autohoods and fitting it myself...

Slight side track - I want to change to Griff/Chim struts.
Where's the best place (cheapest) to get them?
I know a new fixing hole needs drilling, but the wedge one's rattle and it drives me nuts!

Thx

Try Douglas Valley Breakers or Bell Hill Garage. For the money I think they are too expensive - the Wedge stay bars can be adjusted to stop them rattling though the likely cause is probably to do with the hood losing its tension.
