Ok so I had a pretty clean bonnet but it had some repairs to the front and some filler.

I took this to a specialist company in Rackheath Norfolk and they assured me they could do it without issues, damage or warping.

Turned up today and they had hit the whole bonnet so hard with the blaster without consideration for its rarity and warped the hell out of it! Completely wrecked.
So much so its skip fodder.

When I asked out this the guys response was "I told you so" they never said anything of the sort and I made sure to put my point across. Anyway some tears at bedtime from him and my money back but now I don't have a bonnet but I need one before painting very soon.

Please can anyone help?

Must be in pretty good order to be honest as my local Blasters seem a bunch of Cowboys!

It probably sounds like I'm stating the obvious but have you tried eBay or anything at all?? I recently purchased a bonnet on there for my elf, pretty decent nick, couple of minor dinks that popped out but other than that it was sound. eBay is surprisingly good for spares...

Of course Very Happy 

Most want collection only, I am trying to persuade people to post them.

You'll be lucky to get one posted - I looked into posting a standard Mini bonnet and even before its got any packaging around it its too big for the low cost/domestic services such as Hermes to handle. I was getting quotes in excess of £25 to post it otherwise.

It is difficult I know. But £25 post is still better than £60 petrol
