Who here has had a roof fitted by Oxted Trimming Company?

I want to get a new roof fitted before the height of the winter but was just wondering how long it takes them to order and fit it?

mine came from oxted but had it fitted in cheshire by a guy called stuart epps.

It only took a day to fit it and i think i paid about 70 quid.

The roofs from oxted are superb and i have no leaks at all since

Hi!

Anyone got pictures of their Oxted Hood ? I'm into ordering one but would like to see one. I know it's the same as the Honda... but come on! Someone please ! :)

Thanks,

Here is mine, its not exactly the same as the honda but it looks great, and no rain dripping.

The way they have the rear window attached is a little different.

Hi Adam,

Thanks! Your car looks great ... fresh paint :)

I don't care about differences as long as it fits well and I guess it does :)

Btw. I've seen rear window sections on Japanese sites with REAL GLASS :) looks great!

I really recommend it.

Its been on the car for a good 6 months now and still looks like new.

I got a cleaning kit in halfords and from time to time I give it a scrub. No real maintance because its black.

And thats the second time I had to paint it due to vandals deciding to destroy my car.

....... tell me about it, that why my little beat still waiting for a new roof, it cost me £300 to have my bonnet re-sprayed after vandals scratched it.

The trouble with replacing the hood is: if you haven't got wings any more, how is your Beat going to fly?
