E30 Hood ADVICE PLEASE

[krismac]

Hi,

I have just bought a 1993 318i Lux Convertible in Metallic Navy Blue.

The problem is that the hood leaks, and I want to replace it with a new one.

I can't decide if I should get a navy blue mohair hood or a black mohair hood. What does everyone think?

And can anyone reccommend someone in Yorkshire?

Thanks
Kris

krismac, no disrespect but you may get a better response if people could actually see your car, stick some pics up mate. Welcome btw.

the navy blue look's classier imo good luck there should be a couple of guys on here who can advise you where you can get it fitted.

Here is my car, roof down

where abouts are you,,I can recommend Sheffield Trimming co

[krismac]

I live in York at the moment, have a University house in Sheffield tho.

Do you know how much for a soft top at sheffield trimming co?

[DaveD]

about £550...They use BAS roofs (which I can recommend http://www.car-hood.co.uk/ ...if you ring them up they will send a sample of what colour)

I'm a fan of black roofs on blue cars. Sorry!

Blue all the way. But I would say that

[krismac]

Went to Sheffield Trimming Co today and got quoted £520 plus VAT. So around £610 in total which was a bit more than what I hoped.
He did have a second hand black one which he said fitted would be £300 all inclusive.
I prefer blue but it's quite a saving for a black one!
How much has everyone else paid?

I just received my top and it is a quality product, I paid 470 dollars which is 242 pounds, but someone has to fit it

go on ebay and type in e30 soft top mate, as there is a dealer who comes to your house and fits it in for about £500.

[krismac]

if you mean this guy......

He is in essex and not sure he will come all the way. Guess I could meet him halfway or summat. Anyone used him?
