Blue roof!

Post by jock156 » Wed Dec 07, 2022 3:45 pm

So......... it’s getting to the time where I want a new soft top but in blue. There is nothing wrong with my soft top just fed up with black.

This is the only pic I could gleam of the web. If anyone finds anymore I would be grateful if you could send them on to me.

My main question is has anyone used a company and what was the results? The only person I know of is Johnny English but he’s moved on.

TIA for any input 👍

There was an old thread here: viewtopic.php?t=19856 which is where your original image comes from. In that post someone says these guys are great: https://www.car-hood.co.uk/ and in particular, they offer Z4 roof in blue mohair: https://www.car-hood.co.uk/beetle-auto-h1106 - not a cheap option but they certainly look like they know what they're doing. £673 + VAT (so just a smidge over £800) and that does not include fitting.

Brian, thibgs canny be that bad you’re wanting to lumber that lovely car with a blue roof :poke: :wink:

Here’s a thread where another company were offering different colours. You’ll clearly identify with the Scottish input on the thread :rofl: :rofl:

They’ve got probably your ideal shade of blue on their Z4 demonstrator :thumbsup:

    I'd be more than happy with a blue roof. Might clash slightly with my red seats though!

    *UPDATE*

    Monsoon hood delivered £984 all in.

    They just don’t fit them anymore 🤦🏼‍♂️ They gave me a number of a guy who could fit them but upon phoning him he didn’t sound too keen. :(

    So, any of you guys know a garage (as close to Norfolk as possible) that could do the job?

    TIA :D

    Is it complete or do you need to fit it onto your existing frame etc?
