Paid for it on the 2nd of March and received it Tuesday just gone, no import duties to pay but your mileage may vary.
HEL Lines arrived, thanks Si @ Hendy. The car is due an MOT and service soon so I'll get them fitted then.
New roof fitted by Jack Smith in Swansea. Few threads here and there on the inside but for the price I can't complain. A massive improvement on my old one which kind of fell apart when it was being taken off.
During fitting:
Here's the amp tucked in above the fuel amp. I can't really show how tidy it all is as the loom and amp are well tucked away. The Speakers are Audison Reference AVK6 and the Amp is a PDX-F4 so both high end, the idea was that I wouldn't be tempted with getting a sub and now they've bedded in, there isn't much point I don't think. They sound fantastic. The doors have been dynamattet and the speakers are being held in by custom MDF brackets. The install shop said it was a right **** of a job.
FD2 gearknob fitted as the original one is a bit worn (previous married female owner).
I've had a few map updates from Mase and the car is on the dyno in 3 weeks or so, will be interesting to see a before/after run from when I was at Powerstation last year.

£30 second hand, I think they're around £55 or so brand new. Can't remember what the FD2 one looks like.
It's Mohair.
No, he has glass in stock now, so you just turn up once booked.
I'm not going to lie, the roof isn't perfect, few threads here and there, when I look out the rear I can see that the material isn't 100% straight just above the glass. It's stuff you can tidy up yourself easy enough. But it keeps the water out and looks fine from the outside. But I've also read similar stories from other much more expensive fitters. For the price I can't argue, when it falls apart in x years then just get another.
^ Reading that again makes it sound worse than what it is.

The car has a normal decat on right now, I may get a silenced one as it can be quite loud at times and the addition of a header may tip it over the edge for me.
