I notice your car is same color as mine - did you opt for a black hood? I have never really liked the factory blue one that is on currently.

Thanks so much for your help guys - I will peruse your recommendations. I must say I am toying with the idea of mohair: the only reason I was going for vinyl is because I live near a lot of trees & one or two people have said the mohair ones may go 'green'?

Hi, my 'Z' is ready for a new hood (2005 model). Can anyone recommend a quality repairer in the Lancashire area. There is a firm in Blackpool called Advanced Car Trimmers that does them at a cost o £645 for a vinyl. Has anyone used them & if so were pleased with their work? Thanks. Neti

Hi - your hood looks amazing! I am looking to replace mine - can I ask where you had this done please?

Well Nissan Customer Services were as much use as a chocolate tea pot! Their answer was to replace the hood at a cost of £4000. I have just got a quote to repair it for aprox. £250 from a local firm!! Mmmmm, let's see which choice shall it be then???

Thanks for replies guys - in particular to Stew for the Customer Services info. I'll definately contact them & keep you posted.

I have just asked my Nissan dealer to stick down one of the corners on the hood of my covertable, assuming this would be under warranty cover, however, they say that because it is on the 'extended' warranty cover now (my GT is an 05) that this is not covered. Yet when they try to sell you this cover it is supposed to 'all singing & dancing'! Has anyone else experienced this?
