Searching for Silver Grey Metallic (A08) body panels

[solo_the_lad]

Hi all,
just thought I'd post here because it seems this body color is almost impossible to find panels for. But if anyone knows someone/ somewhere that's got them, I pretty much need them all except for the hood. Cheers and happy driving 8)

how much do you think it would cost me for you to ship those panels here ?

Completely forgot in all the excitement, sorry. Will try to find out when I’m back in the UK after 1/6.

[ref]solo_the_lad[/ref], I have done some asking around today and hitting a brick wall.
Everyone I talk to is saying I would need crates made to fit each panel and doubting they could go air freight.
The prices are ludicrous, it would be better (more cost effective) for you to import a car and sell the bits you don't want!!!

Maybe someone else has done this in the past and can advise, but if not it looks like a no. Sorry.

Yeah that makes sense. I have simultaneously been trying to figure out a way to import a hard top from there, and it would also require a crate being made and such. If you do however know of a hardtop for sale, and if you figure out a way to ship them via sea freight that's less than 800 GBP, that'd be worth it for me. Hard top prices here in the US are ridiculous! Cheers for trying anyways tho mate.

Are you saying £800 for shipping a hard top?

What with paying £1000‐£1200 for hard top as well then you are close to the asking price of this hard top which seems to be in the right colour for your car:
