grommit Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 HI, Has anybody used Car Hood Warehouse and would you recommend them? Or do any members know anywhere i can get a replacement hood fitted around N.W.London area? Quote
hairyman68 Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 This is where I ordered mine from.... But fitted it myself... Quote
Jeff E Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 H68, yr purchase location did not show. Like G would appreciate guidance on self fit Quote
hairyman68 Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 Bought just a few mths ago. Still struggling to post pictures as on a tablet rather than a PC. It fairly straightforward.... There's a long series of how to do it on u tube. But it you go step by step it's ok. Removed and fitted new in under 7hrs.... Quote
grommit Posted September 8, 2015 Author Posted September 8, 2015 Having new dark blue mohair hood fitted next week. Quote
Keenobi Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 Had mine done there back in April, they have done a great job, really pleased with the result. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote
Juggalo Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 That's nice that. Want a wine coloured one myself. Quote
Mark@Abbey m/s Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 Just fitted one to my Roadster on Monday awesome service real nice job; Quote
grommit Posted September 10, 2015 Author Posted September 10, 2015 Thanks, I'll post some pics when i'ts done Quote
DaddyCee Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 i take it you went for mohair? is there much difference to the standard supplied Nissan one? Quote
grommit Posted September 11, 2015 Author Posted September 11, 2015 I'll let you know when i've had it done. Quote
Tyler Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 How much we talking for a new one fitted from these guys? Quote
DaddyCee Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 looks like £850 inc VAT fitted at their premises for a mohair variety. I'd be interested in this. Quote
nictry Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 Had mine done their same price and very pleased with it (6 months later still looks brand new and no issue with it) they will tell you there is no warranty on the mechanism and also if something goes wrong during fitting with the mechanism they can't take responsibility which worried me a bit at the time but I guess they have to cover their a** by saying that! Black mohair and looks great so I would go for it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 1 Quote
grommit Posted September 18, 2015 Author Posted September 18, 2015 Had the roof done on Wednesday, it looks great in blue mohair ,they did a really professional job and only took about two and a half hours to do it. Its a bit scary seeing the roof with no skin on but they really seemed to know what they're doing. I'd recommend them to anyone. Anyway here's the pictures, before ,during and after. 1 Quote
Tyler Posted September 18, 2015 Posted September 18, 2015 Very nice. Might get mine done early next year then Sent from my ONE A2003 using Tapatalk Quote
Ridz Posted September 18, 2015 Posted September 18, 2015 i take it you went for mohair? is there much difference to the standard supplied Nissan one? I understand that the Nissan OEM hood is canvas, and therefore susceptible to the well known problem of the hood reluctant to retract in lower temperatures, i.e 5 deg C or lower. Mohair hoods seem to be more flexible and therefore more tolerant of low temperature operation. Quote
