Mines come to the end of it's life and Looks terrible.

I've had a quote of 950 quid for a new one fitted (not oem), but i'm sure someone on here got their one done a lot cheaper?

Cheers mate. Had a quick look through his project thread and remember him saying about it, but no contact details

I'm sure another member had his mx5 done by the same guy in Wales iirc.

He only makes MX5 roofs, but if you get one from somewhere else then he'll fit it for you. Ended up replacing mine myself as it's pretty easy, but I used a second had hood which isn't great and I don't like the glass screen on it as it's tiny. Going to change it again and go back to a plastic screened hood.

he done s2000's aswell, i'm lead to believe.

Taking the whole roof off seems a bit of a big job. New roof material is about 550 I think.

Speak to Jack Smith in Swansea, from what I've read he isnt solely a roof trimmer so will do pretty much anything. He's we renowned in the MR2 world as well.

Yeah thats the guy that came up in a Google search. Someone said he done their z3, so I doubt a z4 would be too much effort?

Yes I worked in retail for a while and I used to hate answering the customer services phone. Think it scarred me for life.

I now work in a place where I have no contact with the general public. It's fantastic.

Would love to, but it still needs a new outer skin regardless.
