Just fitted my own hood - bought from Autohoods.  Well impressed with the price ?190 for a blue Ferguson Twill Mohair plus ?10 for the rear cables.  Side cables were included.  Total price ?234 in VAT.

Fitting was relatively simple, although it took 2 days (allowing the fabric to stretch and me not to lose my temper).  Hardest part is the rear cable - fiddly and stapling the hood to the frame (both inner and rear window).  6mm staples in a heavy duty hand stapler are too big.  Recommend machine/air stapler if possible.

When I work out how to do the photos I'll put some on.

Try these people. Based in Germany but prices are good and quality is not an issue from what I can gather from chatting to some people who've bought one.
