new hood

[Guy]

I know there is a guide on the mk1 OC but I was wondering if anyone can suggest a good mk1 hood supplier.. who will do all the kit etc inc lining?

I know CQ's supply a fair amount... but they are quite pricey too

black mohair.. i think i found somewhere which does very good quality hoods

can you do the hood and headlining separately? i will also need a new window surround i think

window frame from cq is 140 iirc which is good value for stainless steel, you need to do headlining with the window frame as on mine its tuckedin around frame
who did you get for the mohair guy as im looking to get mine done very soon

mohair is £191/£236 + VAT

tbh I hadn't seen the +VAT bit which changes things I think

i went and got a quote from these guys a couple of years ago.. they were charging about £635 for hood and headlining fitted

not too bad on pricing for supply http://www.carhood.com/volkswagen/

mohair £235
headlining £165
cables £26

I must say though that they had a very professional looking set-up and seemed to know what they were doing

are you a member of the mk1 oc?

car hoods northern give a 10% discount if you are

rang carhoods northern mate and they quoted around 600 for mohair, window frame and fitting, but then when i mentioned headlining the guy said 275 for the headlining 
im sure when i got a quote from them b4 the headlining was an extra 50, i dont know if the guy didnt want to come down to london or what but im looking elseware
