Welcome to the zone mate and the world of E30`s :)
Cant comment on the roof but a toptint windscreen is around £100 fitted.
Alpina replicas seem to go for anything between £150-300 depending on condition.
New they are about £550 on Ebay?

Welcome !

New roof fitted IRO £450 give or take.

Watch out for quality of hood though.

Do not IMHO buy a hood and try and fit yourself, not good.

New windscreen, simple stanley knife job on a second hand scrapper, remove screen and get the right tool and you can fit yourself.

What area are you in roughly ?

:D
