Hi,

Looking to replace a soft top (vinyl) for a Mx5 V Special 1990.

Anybody know of a reputable dealer who could supply and fit for me, Ireland north/south ?

many thanks,
Conn.

(County Dublin).

How mechanically minded are you?? If you can use a few basic tools then fitting one is a relatively easy job..there are other threads on this forum that deal with this, there's even tutorials on youtube..check that path out before parting with your hard earned ( I assume) money :wink:

i saw this ad on donedeal, someone selling a roof on its own, might be worth giving him a call, http://cars.donedeal.ie/for-sale/cars/1898215

Hi Conn,

I fitted 5 by now.
You could come up to Louth once you have a new roof and we'll have it replaced in 3 hours (no charge of course)

Wow, great to get responses so quickly - thanks everybody ! Alas, I'm not mechanically minded - and clumsy to boot

so, me fitting it is not an option - but 'Cloggy' if you're serious about helping out here I'd much appreciate it (but not for free) and we'll agree something I'm sure. Let me know a bit more, where you are etc. - I'm in Rush, County Dublin so not too far away - also, I've looked at 'Prestige' as a dealer to buy from (UK) - anybody have comments, they ok or is there someone on home turf as it where you guys recommend?

many thanks,
Conn.
