Who'd you use and how much would something like that cost to do?

my mate did it and only charged £100 but think due to the hours he put into it should have charged about £200-£300

the wiseman hardtops are available colour coded but dont really like them as they are too rounded and the car has more straight lines sold the blue one for £700 with retrimed roof line buy them in summer as this is when people dont want them

No, also 60/40, but s**** job, done on the cheap. Going to change it to Bilstein/Eibach shortly. The ride at the moment is terrible. Beautiful cars there! :D
