Hi,

I have a kit car in need of a new roof. It just need to be black vinyl with no frame etc.

Can anyone recommend someone in the Bournemouth/Poole area?

Car is not worth a great deal so I'm not looking to spend tooooooo much.

Thanks

If its a hood you're after you're in the right part of the world.

You need to find someone who makes them for boats. They'll have the best materials, machines and know how and wont be as expensive as a classic car specialist.

Bad news - there is about only 1 company in the whole country who make hoods for sevens.
Good news - you're not far away from them!
Bad news - they aren't cheap, about £250.

That's very reasonable I think. ^

It would be if I had a seven. I need something bespoke. Thanks anyway.

Soft Bits do bespoke. Just did one for my Gardner Douglas T70.

Well they couldn't help me with my particular car but they did suggest someone who can.

I've also found a boat cover person who can possibly help as well! Fingers crossed one of them will come up trumps.
