Post by zerolam »

i read from another site that the material of the convertible top is 'Haartz Twillfast II Cloth'. Is it a Vinyl or Fabric?
Thanks

I think that Mohair has become a generic term like "Hoover", "Jeep" and "Biro"

Thats an interesting first post :? Have you been watching the forum :?:
only reason I ask is because I live very local to you and pass your place frequently but thought you were Suzuki hood suppliers so didnt bother to stop and ask if you suppy Z3 hoods :?:

Just checked your website and the Z3 hood fitted looks excellent from what I can see. What is the charge for a fitted hood at your factory in black.Also is the rear screen stitched in,or can it be fitted with a genuine BMW zip in window :?: :)
Thanks.

My hood is definitely Mohair and the definition of mohair is

a yarn or fabric made from the hair of the angora goat.

Mohair sounds nice and plush but frankly I'd rather have a nice inert synthetic like acrylic or polyester, with suitable UV stabilisation, which will resist the rigours of the UK weather rather better than goat hair. Yes I know goats live outside but they're growing new hair all the time! :wink:

Think Zippy will be okay then, he lives in a garage and when we're out the hood is practically always down so not much weathering going on :D
