Title: What would I have to pay for a new golf cabby roof?
Post by: Lynzi_t on 04 April 2004, 17:38

I have a slight rip about an inch long right at the back of the hood so im looking into a new hood even 2nd hand would do as long as it was in good nick.

My roof dosnt leak it just looks horrible and once I have the clipper bodykit on and it all resprayed it will let the car down.

I would go for a Black or another blue roof even dark grey would look ok.

I just dont know where to start and you lot tend to have afew goo ideas on here... I know hoods can be expensive and I dont wanna pay a hell of a lot if I can help it.

Thanx  ;D

I know if you shop about you can get a good quality new roof for about ?300, but its the fitting that tends to be the problem. Its a bit of a specialist job, and not many people will do it. There is a video going around about fitting them, but I'm not too sure who would have a copy

?300 aint too bad.  I just ended up paying ?276 for an original clipper bodykit quite expensive but a nightmare to get hold of one.

This bloody car is gunna cost me a fortune. OUCH!

Thanks Dinky ive emailed him so fingers crossed I might get hold of a copy  ;D
