    windscreen cost

    i am removing my screen for a couple of reasons. anyway i mate who runs a classic car company recommended national windscreens worcester.
    i asked for a quote to turn up and bond in a new screen and id fit all trim etc.
    quite surprised they knew the cars and knew id be doing hard work. the cost a very reasonable 132 quid inc vat. can't wait to get it in now

        Is that including the price of the glass?a bloke local to me works for national and does jobs on the side and does most windsceens for around 100 quid fitted(includes removing old 1),however when i asked him to do an s2 screen a bit back he groaned a bit then changed the subject lol.

            one of their guys does foreigners but for that money i get warranty too. wanted to avoid insurance as regardless of what they say it affects premium. i used to work in insurance and what business gives things away for free. some screens can run into hundreds and you only pay 60 quid.

                  Auto glass said £407+ vat!
                  Rang a local small outfit-£178 inc vat
                  He says they get the screens from same place as auto glass

                    Whoa. Some seriously good quotes there.
                    Over here, it is approx. £800. £200-£400 through insurance, depending on company.

                    Then a few weeks go by and you have a new crack in the windscreen, due to all the c..p they put on the roads up here.
