Still expensive for a vinyl...about 130 off ebay,because it was my first time,I bought another frame and fitted to that and just swapped the whole frame and hood....you can buy a brilliant fitting dvd from DANDYCARS for a fiver.

i paid 180 squid for a vinyl one inc delivary, i also got a step by step dvd with it, in total took about 5-6hrs on my own to remove old one & refit new one to existing frame,
fantastic guy, on nutz who specialises, shame hes miles away, but new hoods fitted from £215 for a black vinyl
and hes constantly recomended by people who've dealt with him

£390 for mohair and fitted sounds like a result. My blue BAS mohair one was £370 and I fitted it myself...

Mine cost me £126 from a company on eBay, next day delivery too. A friend of mine on NEMS fitted it. Removal of old roof and new one on frame 1.25hrs start to finish.
