mohair Vs Vinyl
i am new to the scene having just purchased my first ever mk1 golf gti convertable. It desperately needs a new hood. i have been looking at the new but bit confused. What is the difference between Mohair and Vinyl?
Also looking about ?300 for supply and fit of vinyl. is that a fair price?
Thanks for your help

Hi, i replaced mine with a Mohair one ,i think it looks better, and with a bit more looking after, should last longer than a Vinyl one. Mohair isn't that much more expensive either. I paid 350 quid supplied and fitted by the Carhoodwarehouse, who were excellent. Everyones got their own view, but i'm glad i went for Mohair. :dontknow:
I have to agree, seen Micks and it looks good, I'm sur he'll say the same about mine, thats mohair as well, jyust looks so much better…

mohair all the way man, vinyle just cracks and goes dull if u dont look after it regurley, mohair i wudnt say its a fit and forget but alot less looking after.
