I have an element of 'M-styling' on my car, If that's a good enough reason for the manufacturers to adorn a 320 with the M badge, then its certainly a good enough reason for me..

I am a courier. I do same day and it would cost £140+VAT for me to do it if my van was big enough (which it isn't). (I've priced it from Nottingham - Preston - Leicester - Nottingham)

Protecting it from damage is the problem.

I would not recommend any courier companies, they will not protect it unless you pay big money to have it transported on its own. This is why I am so expensive.

I would recommend that you get a man you can trust with a large van to do it.

Better still, get someone to fit it to their car and drive it to you.

Gookah the guy is selling the fitting kit with the Hardtop and is included in the price. He'll be bring it with him so I will need to install it there and then before I drive home. I hope it's not too difficult with some spanners and Allen keys.

Pingu thanks for the offer but I think I might go down my self to safe on the money. Got the Hardtop pretty cheap so want to keep it a bargain. :wink:

Hope it goes and I'm back home with a Hardtop which I've been after for ages.

Just out of interest if anyone needs a courier service they should trySHIPLEY

For those not farmiliar with it basically you list your item and details of where it's going to and from and couriers bid to transport the item, a bit like ebay.
You are under no obligation to accept a bid and all bidders have got a feedback rating.
I have used it to transport alloy wheels and a 3 piece suite and have found it first class.
If you want an item on ebay transported even before the auction has ended you can get quotes just by entering the ebay item details and the couriers can see exactly what needs to be transported.
I've seen everything from documents to cars being delivered.
