Best place to get a new hood in the Midlands

[Bobhon]

When I put my rear hood back up today I saw that the top stitching on the window was gone and the window is drooping down. As it's already milky anyway and the hoods been leaking water in I thought that I'd go for a new one.

Anyone got any recommendations and rough price for a complete new hood fully fitted in the Midlands?

Hi Bob

Talk to Adrian Venn, I made a serious mistake in not considering him when I had a new hood for Gerald

Had mine done via RT, some guys in Sheffield.
Excellent work but no use to you suppose.
We have a trimmer near Mike and me in Redditch he did me a new cover for me.
Think Mike may have used him as well.

Nice guy, can give the details if you like.

Hi Simon

Mike said that you'd had someone local do your tonneau cover. I'd love to get the details off you. Can you PM them over to me please.

Thanks Simon. Mike certainly is quick with those 'linky' things. I'll have to learn how to do that and how to post photo's one day.

If you could keep me up to date on any quotes as my hood isn't perfect. It needs a new rear window, but it may be better to replace the whole rear section. Don't know if you would get a better deal for two - it could be a BOGOF! You buy one and I get the second one free?

Cheers

Mike/Tony

I don't know if they'll do a discount for doing 3 at once, but I'll ask when I ring one of them back tomorrow.

I've got to say that it isn't proving so far to be a cheap job to do on your S.

When I get some firm prices then I'll PM you both to give you the good news on price.

Thanks Bob. Didn't think it would be a pocket money job - quotes will focus the mind!

[S2Mike]

Thanks Bob, I know it is not gonna be cheap but would be nice to know, and raid the piggy bank.

Tony/Mike

You should have received a PM with the details of where I'm going and how much it all costs. I'm all booked in.

For info a couple of months ago I was quoted £700+ VAT for a complete new hood by http://www.davethetrimmer.com/ Not used him myself but comes highly recommended by those that have.

[S2Mike]

I think my fears were it would be around this figure.
Stainless Exhaust needed, piggy bank not that big.
OH birthday soon, holiday next month.

How did you get on Bob ?
