Post by: gibby on 17 June 2005, 00:18: Dinx, you need to find a local coachtrimmer round your area but they are a dying breed these days, compared to what some have paid on here I paid top dollars for mine doing, I was charged Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£150 labour to have my hood fitted and I had to buy the hood myself. :sad: He did put the old window in though and he did a good job all round so cant really complain. :smiley:

Title: Re: new hood
Post by: Phil303 on 17 June 2005, 11:31: I saw that on ebay as well but it's not clear if the window surround is included.

I did email the guy and explain I was after a window surround NOT the whole frame but his response only ever mentioned the complete fame.

Its getting to the stage where if I so much as breathe near my rear window it's going to fall out. Gulp :cry:
