The place is well worth a visit. Very trendy and upmarket. Pretty good value and the food is first class.

Re: How many types of tonneau cover?
I've used mine twice in 12 years of Z ownership. I did hear somewhere that if you travel in Belgium it must be fitted as the metal folding spikes are deemed to be a hazard and must be covered by a tonneau or similar.
Could be wrong though.

At what price point is a new hood too cheap? ie potentially poor quality.
Suppose I knew a guy who could do a complete new hood for £150 and it looked ok. Would you buy it?
Or perhaps £100 -
Just interested in feedback.

It is approx £1500 all in though.
