Hi Everyone i have owned the TC Baur E30 1.6i since 1992 and have completely restored but the only area i am struggling with is the recovering of the wooden removable roof section, only very slight wear but i want everything to be perfect, Can any one recommend a company who recovers or replaces preferably in the UK ????

You could email https://www.karosserie-baur.com and find out what product was used on the roof section, I would assume a vinyl of some sort.

Near me in London I have C E Moore and it may be worth pinging them an email as well asking for advice and a price, as then you can have a figure to work with, they are expensive but do a lot of top end repairs.
