Yes,I got there at about 9,and left about 3.The only thing there's not much to as it's on a trading estate.There is a pub across the road,and Chessington world of adventure.The other thing that impressed me was the new hood was an exact match to a BMW genuine.

£600 supplied and fitted.If you do use them,try and get Tyrone to fit it,what he didn't know about his job wasn't worth knowing.

Sorry to muscle in, but do they supply the roof with new seals? Or will they remove and reuse the old ones from old roof?

I would think they'd use new seals.

that's worth knowing, so buy the seals first and take them down with you. Thanks
