Have contacted several companies,no change out of £45 and that was the cheapest,about £38 for the plastic and £8 postage ,and then theres the glue and thats doing it myself,.One company wants me to remove from car,send to them,they will fit and post back,that will cost about £75 to £85,and will be of the road for about a week,.A new hood at £155 to £195 is looking better more and more,cheers,Brian.

If it's just gone 'foggy' I believe there is a product that can clear it - sold to Spridget owners I think. I have no idea if it works - and to be honest - I am sceptical!

If you're thinking about replacing the hood I know there are loads of different options, but don't buy the cheapest it'll be a false economy, the vinyl is very thin on some of the ones I looked at, and won't last. Not good value for money IMHO.

When I had a Barchetta, the club recommended a Halfords own brand plastic window polish. Don't know if they still do it but worth a look if there's a Halfords nearby.
