Yes, my roof was fitted there. Look back in this thread to see pics.

OEM quality but at a price. I'm delighted with mine, no issues.

Unfortunately not!!

I was driving in the Peak District near Sheffield....funnily enough there were 3 S2000's in convoy ahead of me..as I was in my white Octavia estate I couldn't give them a wave as they'd think I was either mad or a copper.

I had the same problems,Jack Smiths a bit too far from Yorkshire, in the end I bought a new soft top from monsoon, delivery only, which came with new glass screen,new straps etc, and had it fit at Bielowski's Sheffield trimming company,was just over £600 for the roof and fitting all in, with a bit of negotiation. They took a day to fit it, but are right next to a tram stop to meadowhall so went off there, watched a film, had a wander round, sounds a better bet than Swansea :-). Bielowski's sorted out the roof leaking issues and the roof from monsoon is oem quality so more than happy.

The closest place for me is All Hoods Ltd in Romford.

If you look on that page you will see that Tony has quoted me £595;

All Hoods Ltd Brian @AllHoodsLtd
@cdp_71 to supply and fit a black mohair hood on your Honda S2000 will cost you £595 and will take about 5 hours to do.

Has anyone used All Hoods?
Did you use these in the end? Any feedback?

Booked in for a new roof with glass upgrade next month at Jacks, Bit of a trek down from Durham.

Any pointers from those who have had it done?

Do you need to keep the roof up for so long after its been fitted (planning on doing some hooning round wales while I'm down there)

Had a quick look on google maps/street view and couldn't find it (I know its behind the houses somewhere)

Do they take the seats out (I've got an under seat sub, so id remove it prior so its not damaged)

Anything else?

Seats stay in. He told me to keep the roof up for an hour or so after fitting.
