Default Hood fitting in N.Ireland

Hi guys I have a 2001 formula red s2000. Had her a couple of hers now and absolutely love the car.
The only downfall is the hood, it's pretty porous and in the winter you can even get icicles hanging from the hood!
Need to get one fitted but finding it hard to find someone to fit a new hood for me.

I'm sure there is someone in N.Ireland that could fit it , if any of you guys know anyone or had your S fitted with a new hood please give me a shout.


Really appreciate it , cheers

If there are no holes/tears, you could try waterproofing it. I use fabsil from Halfords. The water beads off the roof just like the paintwork!

Thanks for the post Dave. Unfortunately the hood has the usual rips at both sides where it meets the door and it seems the seals are letting water too.
