Red hood

I know it's a long shot, but if anybody has a red hood they no longer want.( Perhaps somebody has one and it didn't suit the colour of there car or something).
I'd like to buy it.
My only options so far have been
1. Spend £500 plus for a new one or
2. Spend around £200 on a2 nd hand e bay one that looks like it'll never clean up.
Any help and I'll be happy.

haven't got a red hood, but the one on ebay has been listed for around 6 months now. Originally it was listed at £125 so if you decide to get it make him an offer first. otherwise its the usual trawl through breakers yards/mg specialists. If you do get the one on ebay try http://www.renovointernational.com/?utm_expid=6474712-0.nuKoD96VRNOlZusRezoFzQ.0 maybe they can do something with it

Just a quick one - DO NOT use red renovo on a red hood - it comes out brown and looks terrible! Just clean it with some hood cleaner and then reproof it.

took me a while but i just remembered a search result i found on google some months back: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.407153016050262.1073741828.188992407866325&type=1 they sourced a red hood and sent it out to japan for one of the members on here: http://www.the-t-bar.com/forum/9-mgf-tf-pitstop/90002-in-japan . So try asking them as well. Not doing anything else tonight so will see what else i can dig up. just read above post >.< k forget i mentioned that idea then, sorry.

update:

http://www.hothoods.co.uk/mgf_fitted.htm £480 fitted for a red one

"I am replacing the soft top on my MGF 75th - and have had a really good quote (£390.00 fitted) for a 1-piece hood in red from the Car Hood Warehouse in Chessington." that was in 2009 so no doubt the price has changed but here is there page: http://www.carhood.com/mg/

update 2:

Thanks for the help guys. I've sent a message to the breaker on e bay to see if they would come down on price and if the could arrange delivery for me. So far I've had no reply. From the pics it looks a bit grubby but it might clean up with a little elbow grease.

I use Autoglym hood cleaner on Meg's red hood - scrub it in with the sponge they supply, then use a nail brush on any green bits. Then I use my carpet cleaner (the hand tool) to suck the dirty soapy water off the hood. do it a couple of times and it comes up like new.

Then a coat of proofer and you're good to go.
