if you plan on getting it to Malta, i personally wouldnt bother

you are better off trying to find one in malta, even a damaged one and repairing it yourself

I had to do this for a set of alloy wheels. I just skimmed ebay for courier companies that are set up for it and picked the one that seemed the best on paper. It all turned out OK but a bonnet is a bit more fragile than a set of wheels so might be worth using a reputable company with good insurance against damage.
