NC starting to get pin holes at crease points. Thought I'd try and repair now before it gets any worse... Any suggestions folks?

Loops, my bad. Auckland. I've googled a place in Glenfield, but recommendations would be better. Thanks in advance!

Check out Trotskies, www.trotskies.co.nz. They have been doing MX5s for years.
I used a guy in Glenfield as well many years ago. He did a good job patching the hood on my NA, but I can't remember his name or exactly where.

Al's Upholstery used to be the club go-to guy, but he retired/stopped a few years back.

Yeah, I used Al when he was in Sunnynook, but the guy in Glenfield was someone else.

Sounds rough but I used black silicone RTV. A cheap option. If only small pinholes it fills ok and hardly noticeable. Just smear smooth after application with wet finger.
