Any decent companies? Or is it just pointless to even consider doing? Obviously i don't want it to turn up smashed to shit. Any ideas? Cheers peeps

Not really any local extended ones for sale about though Graeme, that's why i'm wanting it, cos it looks like a mint one. Only problem is getting it here un-damaged it seems.

I used Parcel2Go (via DHL IIRC) when I sold my old bonnet to someone on here - didn't have any complaints from him so I can only assume it arrived safely. I just made sure all the edges were covered with foam and wrapped it fully in bubble wrap.

Road trip to pick it up? Someone else not from up that way come down here for work? Or failing that like ed said see if he'll wrap it up and pad edges with foam etc.

Parcel2go might be a good shout, used them before.

Had a bonnet turn up before with a frieght company, came covered in cardboard with form on corners like Ed is descriving. Was fine but it is a dodgy area. Roadtrip sounds best

Well i'm sending out e-mails and things inquiring, but by the looks of it most places don't like dealing with car panels and stuff. I'll have to see what replies i get back. Asking about insuring too, worth the extra paying for?
Cheers Liam, i've been waiting for a decent one like that to come up for a while now. Shame it's so far away otherwise i'd be straight over with cash in hand lol, and i've bought from Dan before so i know he's sound for it

Paul stop being gay and have a drive up will be nice to see your car anyways. Last time i seen it it was all smashed up.
I'd like insurance on it if it is to be delivered. The bonnets to good to be damaged

Lol Dan, not much has changed tbh, just looks a bit less of a shed than it did, i don't even know if i could fit it in the back of the corsa y'know as the seats don't fold forward . I'll carry on sending out feelers and getting quotes and see what i get, if nothing i could always try and persuade Dan (the bro) to drive up in the derv beast rover .
Dan295 (there's too many Dan's in this thread ffs ) you'll have a u2u on the way
