Soft top supply/fitting recommendations

Post

As the title says really, I badly need to get a new lid for my cabby, mainly because it's dark blue on a black car… who does that?!

Anyway, just wondering if anyone can recommend a reasonable and reliable place to go. I'm in Berkshire but I'm happy to travel a bit if need be. I notice that paid members get a discount with Carhoods Direct, anyone actually used them?

Thanks in advance! :D

As above, Chortle is your man.

There is a hood fitting guide on the site too if needed.

I've bought a couple of mohair hoods from BAS and the quality was good - http://www.car-hood.co.uk/golf-mk12-h1102

Thank you!

I've noticed that as paid members we get a discount with Car Hoods Direct, has anyone used them?

Anyone know how I go about getting the discount from them as I haven't had my membership pack yet?

Hopefully you can have a chat with chortle before you purchase anything.

He's a real Pro when it comes to the floppy top!  :thumbs:
