A new hood any reconmendations!!??
I would prefer reconmendations where someone has had it done with photo refrence ect ect and allowed the hood to settle so a picture when first done and a picture at a later date!
I would also like people to tell me where NOT to go!
This is a big deal for me because my hood is pretty much half my car and is as important as a good respray as you can imagine.
Hope to hear from you all soon!
Regards Chris
p.s I am in the midland, stoke-on-trent but i am willing to travel to get what i want! I am planning on only buying one hood for my car and i want the best!

I havent really got any pics, but on my old cabby i had mine done by sot tops based in croydon, they came out to me and did a black mohair roof/replaced both gas struts, all new cables, plus i also had all black headlining fiited properly.
they travelled about 100miles ot get to me as well, did a great job of it, but cost just over ?600
Hood had a couple of creases but these settled down after a month or 2.
Its now since been sold on and I'm not sure how it is now tho

are you having a new window fitted too? or are you using your existing one?

OK - I found http://www.carhoodsdirect.co.uk/ who came to the house and fitted the new roof today.
Very pleased with the service & fitting took about 3 hours.
?345 in total which I think is OK for A HOME FITTING.
