A new screen is around £3-400 IIRC. Theres a trimmers in Baldock (AR Pound - behind Tescos) who are really goo but TBH I'm not certain they do the screens. They've done carpets for me though and also full seat/interior retrims.

If replacing the rear screen is going to cost that I'd do the lot, you can get a whole new roof in a DIY kit for £295 from Dave Hammerton off ebay

Thanx guys
It may be best to have the whole thing done as the
stitching that holds the velcro on is iffy too.

About 18 months ago I had one done for my S2, about £150-200 but far better quality than the original.

That was near Leicester.

Dodgy memory! just had a look at the invoice the £300 included some new moo cow for the center console & 2 new gaiters. A TVR and a misus (that also wants a TVR) means having lots of money is but a distant memory.....

Look here
Just had one of these fitted at £200 for the fitting! Nice job in the end, but just be careful as they are a "standard kit" and there is no such thing as a standard TVR! Took my fitter 2 days with lots of adjusting, trimming and I no doubt a few choice words! That said looks great now and really pleased with the result. Great service and advice from Dave Hammerton too.

New Hood / Roof
On Saturday I collected my Chimaera from http://www.hoodsandtrims.co.uk (Gary Creasey) Tel No: 01582 629716
Mobile: 0779 6547523, Email: garycreasey@hotmail.co.uk (Told him I'd post on here!). £420 +VAT for the new hood and that's everything, fitting, material, rear screen, targa cover, etc. Great job so I'm very pleased! I'll post the photos if I get time before Le Mans. It's £160 +VAT for a new rear screen only from him.
