r129 hood colours

[wub]

Does anyone have a list of what colour hoods merc offered on the r129 in the 90's? i need a new hood and fancy a stone / beige colour to go with my iterior, Helios, very creamy colour. and does anyone have any experience fitting one? it seems to me they are all made to a specific size, so fitting although time consuming, straight forward for someone who knows his way around tools? I like doing things myself, keeps me busy on a sunday!

Fitting a new canvas roof will keep you busy for more than just a Sunday!

It's not overly straightforward but there is an excellent video on YouTube.
I elected to have mine repaired by a specialist.
