New hood here in Ireland?

Postby Robtq » Fri, 28 Sep 2012 10:57 +0000

Anybody got any advice on getting a new hood here in Ireland (Mk2, NB, glass rear window)? I've looked at a few places and it seems to be about €1000-€1220 for a decent mohair one, as opposed to about £350-ish over the pond. Would be worth my while to take a holiday over there at that rate.
I'm all for keeping our money here in Ireland, but it looks like they're taking the pish out of it still........
Any suggestions?

Jack Smith trimmers in Swansea. They fit for you. Used by a lot of taxi drivers locally there. Or, order online. I found Rockmotors , http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/raframecatalog.php , they sell Robbins tops.

As well, charged_rs on here also sell soft tops.

Thanks for that, looks like Jack Smith is the chap to go to all right. Don't they charge ridiculous prices here? Just don't understand it, at least €500 more, even allowing for the ferry trip. I can pay the extra €500 towards a holiday while I'm over there.
The guys here can't be that busy that they can charge "boom" prices in 2012.......
