I used www.carhood.com. They were great and came to my house to fit it too.
Took a few hours to do. But just e-mailed them my queries and they answered pretty quick.

Han, you've got the number of the guy that put mine on, but I bought the hood myself and just had it delivered to his lock up. I got my hood from these http://www.soft-tops.co.uk/ I'd say it wasn't as good as the original but it was a decent roof, you've seen it and I never had any problems with it and even though my cab wasn't garaged (I made sure I kept it clean and protected with that Autoglym stuff) I think it looked as good when I sold it two years later. You could also try these people, http://www.autohoods.co.uk/list_volkswagen.htm but if I remember correctly they were more expensive.
