I had mine done earlier this year, it cost me £575 - or around that mark - this was august time.

I had it done because my roof was actually the original so the seams had started to come undone where the rear window was.

I thought that a new roof would sort out my leak issues but it didn't.

It does look lovely though.

These are pictures of when it was fitted.

I'm in exactly the same boat @Faheem. Original roof, stitching gone around the window and just looking generally tired. Mine too leaks at the folds above the windows and have no expectations it will solve the problem. Rear window is very tired as well so it is time. Will definitely be going with the navy after seeing the picture.
 
Sean its navy from me as well looks the classiest reckon tan and grey would mark easier

Trust me it is well worth it. It changes the look of the entire car. It may be worth shopping around though, I went all the way to Chessington to have mine fitted but I'm sure I could have found something for a similar price a bit more locally.

Let me know when you have it fitted and what it's like driving the car after having the rear screen replaced ;)
 
After driving my car without a rear window for two summers I can tell you it is soooo much warmer with the new hood and rear window. Although it was surprisingly good with no window! But it definitely is not as clear as no window!! lol JIM

There has been a lot of very good reviews on FB regarding a guy in Swansea (I think) that charges £350 for a new hood including fitting

I think the green and beige go superbly @oldcarman and @FRANKIE.

I agree Dave, especially on a gloriously sunny Florida morning ...................................

I will echo the others by saying that blue is a no-brainer to me: definitely suits the sporty style you have been seeking with the wheels and the interiors.
I love the tan top but on a British Green, possibly with tan interiors and some wood accents in the cabin...I didn't dare to do it on mine for the lack of the latters, and I am sticking to green instead :D

Hi, I've just put a tan coloured top on my Boston green and installed green leather seats to replace the beige which ties in better with the green dash, etc. But I will eventually go with a green top! And not a piece of wood insight!!! JIM

If anyone has PS and wants to try changing the roof colour, download my psd file and edit away -
Double click on the blue colour square on the "Colour Fill 1" layer - this opens up the colour picker
Change colours till your heart's content
If you want to save - do a Save As and save as a jpg

Could have done with a larger image but here is my effort
