Hi All.

I need a new hood and I was wondering if any of you had any good experiences to share? I’m presuming aftermarket will be most sensible as a genuine one will be extremely expensive. Thanks in advance.

Can I ask why you went down the whole new roof route?

Yes no problem,I had a rip just above the rear wheel arch area and the stitching had come undone on the roof support bars,all down to old age.

Z3I came up trumps with a mint blue roof cheaper then a new one which had decent seals and tensions straps so we swapped the roofs over, I then "donated" my old roof to Gavla.

Where are you based?

They are in Chessington down South,

you also have C E Moore, more expensive but you get what you pay for as they say.

They do appear to be quite expensive. Nearly a grand + vat (not fitted) versus BAS international at 370 + vat.
