Hi everyone, the title pretty much sums it up really. I've got a 96 mk1 and this morning in the rain noticed that the roof is letting in a bit of water. I was wondering if anyone knew any company's around the Chichester Portsmouth sort of area that supply and fit new roofs. I'm using this car as a daily so I want a roof that's quite tough but affordable. Any suggestions or recommendations would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

I put a wanted ad on MX5Nutz and got a 1 year old roof and frame that looked brand new for £120, and fitted it myself in half a day (due to having to repair a rain rail). You can pick up similar from eBay for less money. I couldn't be bothered to fit a new roof over my frame and the seals were all shot anyway, but I did raise about £90 by selling the old plastic window and catches from it.

If you want someone to do it all for you, aforementioned MX5parts and also Autolink are very good.

Try Autolink http://www.autolinkuk.co.uk/
They can sell you a hood, and they can put you in touch with a guy whose is local (to them) who does a good job of fitting them.
