I want to fit a new roof with glass screen to my '99 S. The plastic screen is pretty scuffed & no amount of cleaning wih the BMW stuff will shift it, apart from that the roof is going very thin & cracking in places (it is nearly 9 years old after all).

It doesn't look like you can, but I used to have a Mk1 Golf GTI cabbie, and I'm sure you could get hoods in all types of colours, and they were only about

btw, where's the HRW switch located on models with an HRW?
