mohair hoods?

red and white does look lush....

Soft Tops in Croydon (mentioned earlier) only do Blu or Black in Mohair but they have a load of different colours in Vinyl (bit of a trek though!)

I had black mohair hood supplied and fitted in January for ?325 - piccies here:

They would supply and fit Vinyl hood for ?275

?325??? Is that labour and the hood together??? Good deal!

does anyone know if u can get custom made hoods? ie specific colours?

I'm sure a specialist upholsterer or the like could do that.  They'd source the material, maybe dye it then cut it using dimensions from an existing hood but you'd be looking at muchos ?

yea i was having a moment of madness, so dont think i'll bother….stick to red  :wink:

Yep…

Hood alone is ?225. I thought 3 hours of wandering around croydon shopping centre and ?100 wasn't too bad a deal for someone else to put the effort  in to fit the damn thing. Price also included new side cables…

I've been quoted ?410 by car hoods nothern, thats to supply and fit, and they come out to me. WHY CANT I FIND A BETTER DEAL?

Yeah, definitely - it's a pretty crap job to do apparently. Mine was ?490 all up but I am really happy with the results. I didn't know any other trustworthy upholsterers and this guy came recommended by a mate with a VW bus (and he was around the corner from where we both worked - bonus!)

i suppose ?410 aint too bad then….

just got another quote from autotrimuk in bradford. anyone heard of them?
 red vinyl-?325
 red mohair ?405

not bad i suppose  :dontknow:

if those are fitted prices then thats ok imo
remember tho that if theres any problems with the window frame ie the dreaded rust it can be handy to get the job done over a couple of days.
hood replacement is not a tricky job theres a good guide on here  somewhere. hth

vinyl will be better we paid ?410 for ours to be fitted so ?350 is not bad there is a company in the wirrel that sell do it yourself hoods between ?150 and ?200.
