The time is getting close to really needing a new roof fitted. I have a few questions.

I live in the north of scotland so I'm looking for the closest place who come recommended? I'm going to have to travel obviously and if it south of the border so be it.

When you pay for a specialist to fit a roof should I expect them to set the roof up as well and would a price include seals or is that a seperate service?

lastly what should I expect to be forking out all in?

Surrey is a long long way from here! Was hoping to find somewhere a litte closer to the border at least.

Oh, I didn't even think of googling fitters in scotland! Was just going to see if anyone on here recomended anywhere from experience. That company looks good, even has an E30 on their home page. Thanks for that, will get onto them.

Ramsay coach trimming in Edinburgh are highly recommended. Boyd also has a guy in the west who is very good, but I don't know the name.

I have heard good things about Kelvinside trimmers in Glasgow and there is a outfit in Calendar that specialise in MX5 softtops. But they will fit to a E30 if you supply the hood.
