Best place to get a roof

 Hi guys

I’ve been delaying getting a new roof as the Vinyl patch was holding and then the fuel fiasco.  However, the patch has given up.

I started mailing/ calling a number of suppliers/ fitters and I’ve been surprised that they don’t seem that interested in coming to fit.  Can someone recommend who is best to buy a mohair roof from for a Mk2.  I am still torn as to whether I should get a red or blue hood on a silver car, or if it will make it stand out too much to local vandals.

I’m in Berkshire,and desperate for a roof.  Recommendations please?

Jack Smith Trimmers, Swansea. 01792 461022.

You either go to him (nice walk on the beach while he works) or he’ll send you it to fit yourself. £270 for a mohair. Best one I know of.

Another vote for jack smiths! Sent me a mohair roof to fit myself. Really good quality hood and some rather comedy, but very useful fitting instructions.

 Thanks guys.  Not sure I’m brave enough to fit myself so I may have to drive to Swansea!

Appreciate your help.

 Dandycars roofs are the closest i have come across to the OE fit,and not at Mazda prices.

Awesomeimports.com nr Bristol, 01179821267. member from Western said that they will collect car from Cribbs Causeway Mall while you shop and return it later.

 

Dandycars for ultimate fit and quality and a price to go with it or Jack Smith Trimmers for unbeatable prices but bespoke made for you (including not guaranteed symmetrical rear window installation, quite often)

Heads or tails?Don't know

Or as mentioned above, perhaps something inbetween at Awesomeimports in Bristol? Straight away you will save £6 for the bridge and another £30 in petrol compared to a trip to Swansea…

 Hi guys

Went to Dandycars today.  New black mohair roof.  Well I tell you what, their service is fantastic!  From phoning (I called Thursday lunch and saw me Friday morning!) to fitting, to dealing with the payment.  All as said, what top lads.  Roof looks amazing, really lifts the car.  Only bummer is I can’t lower it for a week. 

Thanks for all your tips.  £475 fitted, well happy!

Ouch Peter, that is strong money but it is very much you get what you pay for in terms of ultimate finish, glad you got sorted okThumbs up
