how much would a new roof cost in blue ?
and do they just sell the cover for you to put on or can you get them to supply and fit and at what cost would i expect to pay for this service ???

Ask them
http://www.carhood.com/bmw/ ? I am not sure if they do just black or other colours too. Looks like e30 is 380 without fitting.
EDIT: spelling

Web site sais 550 fitted, but I have no clue whats in it. Do they change those belts that pull it? Do they replace rare window as well or add yours?

They fitted it. If you want new straps, they are extra. I think I paid about £400 2-3 years ago.

Thanks for the info.
The owner has told me it's got a new roof that cost £600.
So I'm just checking things match up before I go see it,
Fingers crossed it's not rotten but then why spend £600 on a roof for a rot box .....update tomorrow.

Good luck Mick!
