Rear screen smashed in the rs500 and the 1.6gl one is clear, front screen and side ones are bonded in and a coont to get in and out.

Got offered the complete set brandnew fitted for 300, and i will get them to cut the rears out as spares for me just in case.

I tell you something the budget really has run away with this rebuild, spent at least a few grand more than i was intending initially.

If i had just broke the 500 and put that cash with the extra cash ive spent now id be up over 10K easily, so could have bought myself a right minter, oh the irony, a replica thats more expensive than the original, lol

Think of the rep as a savings plan, your just buying it bit by bit

Thats the problem, hasnt been bit by bit, ive spent between 500-1000 a week on it every week without fail for the last couple of months.

Oh well, could be worse, i could have done something really stupid like spending double that building a mini, ah, hang on, DOH!
