Looking for Hood Fitting Reccommendations - Solent & Isle of Wight

Area Discussion Solent

Hello, I have a 1992 MK1 1.6 that needs a new soft hood.

Looking for recommendations for someone affordable in the Solent area who could either fit one, or supply and fit one.

The car is on the Isle of Wight - however I believe that the are no fitters here, and MX-5 Parts in Portsmouth no longer offers a fitting service.

I’m not a mechanic, but my father is so Iv’e picked up a bit along the way - however everyone I have spoken to says it is fiddly and better to get a fitter to do it. Thanks!

Hi LexiZ,

Yes, unfortunately, MX-5 Parts shut their workshop a short while ago.

Give, Doctor MX-5 a call. His details are in the following link; https://www.doctormx5.co.uk/

Not a mechanic beyond light bulbs, spark plugs and oil filters either got myself a haynes manual and watched plenty of youtube clips got my similar NBFL roof swapped in 8 very liesurely over two days in the middle of winter. Take your time and make sure you have all the tools before you start and you will be fine.
