Depends what is left on the other shell and the condition of the new one.


Pretty easy to do if you are handy with the spanners.

There was a decent one on ebay,flint grey one.

I'd say if u have the time and space yes, Windscreen pillar's make up quite a bit of strenth as well as the windscreen don't they? and rear quarters r a bitch
