Brilliant job for your roof

by **Pete JB** » Mon, 30 Mar 2009 8:46 +0000

Hi All,

I've just fitted a new roof to the car (2nd hand but new to me) it's in great condition but was very dirty, after a good cleaning I was still not very black. I know there are plenty of products out there to clean the roof but I have found a new & very good product to darken the roof.

Here are the results:

And the wonder product (about £2)

Lovely stuff...
PS did you see the louth mini-meet? do you want me to give you a shout next time we go for a run and it'd be great if you could come along.
Even better... maybe you can organise mini-run so we get to see something of your area, as you're only up the road from us.

Hi Cloggy,

I'm living up in Belfast now, but next time you are doing a mini-meet certainly give me a shout I'd be well on for a meet. My girlfriend is from Carlingford so I could easily meet up in Louth & stay at her folks house that weekend.

I could organise a meet, but to be honest I don't know any decent roads around here yet.

Good man mx5ideways,
PS Hilly is looking to replace her roof and lives in Ennis. Ennis is 300km away from me. I know you're not that near either, but closer than I. Could you assist her with fitting her new roof? have a look here: http://srigley.powweb.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=1635&sid=36e4920d36e0244e432801914b6790f1

Forgot to say that as a result I now have a complete MK2 roof (the fabric has shrunk so not great) but it is on the frame, so if any of you need parts just let me know, I also have 3 roof latches & a glove box & a tonneau cover.

Let me know if anybody needs any parts, Fergus knows I'm good for it as his shiny new door handles will attest

(if he ever finishes the big project) which is looking good at the mo. I just derad to think what his living room will look like by the time he's finished. :mrgreen:
