How's it going everyone?
Thought I'd check out this forum as I've read good reveiws about it :grin:
-
Welcome to the forum, you're cab looks sweet matey :smiley:
-
Cheers mate :wink:
I was just admiring yours on another threat. It's stunning :grin:
I wanted a blue cab with a blue roof before I bought mine. Never thought I'd end up with a bronze one :huh:
When did you get your mohair roof done? I had mine fitted last year.
-
Thanks. I was originally after Rivage in blue with a blue hood but ended up with a green one with a black hood but cream leather :smiley: The mohair hood was standard on mine but could probably do with replacing really, where did you buy yours from ? How much was it and did you fit it yourself ? :smiley:

I've had the cab for nearly 4 years now. It's a G reg clipper and I paid ?3300 for it at the time. I had loads go wrong with it in the first year and I've had quite a bit of work done on it now. I had a weber carb and K&N replacement fitted which has made a massive difference. Last time it went on the rollers it was showing more bhp than a GTI cabbie. It's about 110 BHP and 128 torque. I know it's not fantastic, but it goes alright.
I didn't fit the roof myself, I paid ?550 for the mohair and in the inner hood to be fitted.
I'm not the best with a spanner, so if anything goes wrong with the car I take it to Dubvelopments in Hereford.
So whereabouts are you from? I'm from South Wales :smiley:

?550 for the hood, inner and labour is pretty good. :smiley: I'm not that great with a spanner either but the garage I take it to ripped my lining when they did some work so I'm looking at paying a bit towards the repairs myself and getting the lot replaced if you know what I mean. I'm up in sunny Leeds by the way. :smiley: Did dubvelopments buy the hood for you then ? If so do you know where they got it from ? I've seen the hood and lining for ?275 and ?175 respectively from autohoods.co.uk so your ?550 fitted is a bargain :smiley:

I had the hood fitted at a different garage in Caeloen. He did a really good job, but took him 2 week to do it. The name of the company is Leisure Trim.
One of my mates had a new mohair roof fitted down in swansea and he only paid ?350 for hood and fitting! He didn't need a new inner hood though.
Jodie at Dubvelopments does every thing else though. He's cheap, quick and very reliable. I got ripped off by a few places before I met him. Whenever I've had a problem he's fixed it in a couple of days :smiley: He mainly does 20VT and G60 conversion.
I've only been to Leeds a couple of times for V96 and V97.
Do you go to many shows then?
