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…
