Hi Dave,

I have heard that Peter Jay in wheathampstead is pretty good(although I have never used him..yet).
He is in Wheathampstead in Herts.
I think the price for just the targa panel is £120 and full roof is £400.
Not sure he would want his number splatered over a forum so mail me through my profile if you are interested.

Mine had a new roof from the factory last year and I think it cost about £500. I'll check the receipt later and let you know.

what about the Leven two piece roof as an alternative?

Didn't think it was available! Is it? Might be a nice alternative dependant upon cost.

Give them a call, I know it was in development.. and quoted as being "cheaper than a new one piece roof"

Spoke to Leven recently about the 2 piece roof, see this thread:

David,
I did this job myself and I have to admit it was very easy. The trick is to use the correct adhesive (Evostick melts in the sun)and to glue one half of the roof before sticking down the other half. This allows adjustments to be made. I have some pictures I can send if you let me have your e-mail address.

Arr! But you've never seen my wallpapering! More air bubbles than when I break wind in the bath!
