i've had no problem securing windscreens via the usual suspect companies and claimed via insurance in the last two years.

If you can source your own screen you can ask a company to put it in for you.
I was lucky enough to have an auto glass guy in my area who put my screen in for me for 70 quid.
And that was only because if he broke it he could get another one for me for free


I dont mind project cars but I HATE SANDING!!!

So the screen is sorted found a guy breaking a Mk2 in Leeds so decided that a road trip was on the cards.
Some good music, some bad singing and a 460 mile round trip and got all of the bellow for £90
