Ah yea I see it's smaller, I'd probably get another placcy hood, don't really drive it in winter and if I did would use the hardtop with glass window anyway.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Damnit!!
Just washed the car and noticed this. Can't see it taking being bonded so will visit a local trymers and see what they suggest. Annoying as the rest of the hood is in top condition :roll:
New hood time. As well as where it's split, it looks like the rest was on it's way out anyway as you can see the bonding and that shouldn't be visible.
I bought a brand new hood for £410 delivered from the states and fit it myself.
To repair that they'll need to take the hood off anyhow (I'd have thought) and that's where the cost is - labour time to do that.
If you ask Alex nicely, he'll be happy to fit it for you. From memory it was his most satisfying job to date on his car. Piece of pish I think he said.....or something like that :grin:
I had a BAS hood fitted, which has a heated glass rear window, quality seems very good overall bit the window is quite a bit smaller than the plastic one.
Ah yea I see it's smaller, I'd probably get another placcy hood, don't really drive it in winter and if I did would use the hardtop with glass window anyway. Thanks for pointing it out.
Thinking about colour, arena red really need a black hood but I wonder what the maroon would look like :?:
Well I can certainly recommend the one I bought from America and the description fits the one on the link you posted......save yourself £150.
