New Hood - Vinyl or Mohair?

Replacing my hood after a slasher attack a couple of years back. I was thinking about mohair but was the cab ever produced with a mohair hood? I like the look of them but I also like the look of an original cab. Any opinions welcome!

Mohair was standard on a Rivage

IMO they look soooo much better than vinyl

Others who have fitted their own say mohair is much easier

Cheers,

Agree, Mohair the way to go - gives the car a much fresher look - in fact they're so good you'll notice a lot of defects on the bodywork that'll need attention soon after to match the faultless roof. You can have them supplied and fitted for around ~£280, so long as the rear frame isn't rusted. Just be more careful when it comes to cleaning it. I was advised to use a shoe polish brush only to rub it done once in a while; definately no car shampoo.

Mohair every time, I've had both and the Mohair is QUALITY and worth the extra money.

Get Vinyl and you'll regret it, simple as that.

Thanks for the advice. I'll pass on the green hood though, don't fancy dying it with my luck!!
