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?

Do you go to many shows then?

Started going last year in June so did VW Action (both times), GTi festival & bugjam, went to vanfest too as I've also got a camper but that's a bit more of an old man relaxed affair :smiley:. There's a few go to most of them from here, good crack. Do you go to them ?

Gibby - I went to these shows last year: -

I enjoyed all of them to be honest. You would like BVF and Volksfest Wales as it's a mixture of air and water cooled  :wink:
