Best delivery option for a...

Bonnet....

If this is the wrong forum please feel free to move it for me.

I am in Scotland and need to get a pick up and delivery for a Bonnet in Newcastle. I was wondering if anyone has done this before and what the best option would be.

The guy said he would wrap it but it is too big for a pallet and he doesn't have one anyway....Cheers though

DIY, anything else will end up with it arriving fooked in my experience.

Drive there, fit the bonnet, ring the local scrap man to collect yours?

Other than that, might be worth having a look at shiply for couriers.

That is a good idea ncot. Never thought of that. Saying that though I am in Central Scotland so the petrol cost down and up must outweigh the cost of delivery. It is a Saab Bonnet so it isn't a light weight.

Shiply will find someone in the motor industry who is going past at some point.

I got an MGF bonnet into a Fiat Panda and it only cost me £30 in Petrol to get to Glasow and back (to Norfolkshire). Good fun as well.

You don't even need to ring the scrap man most bonnets will fold up easily (hence couriers being a bad idea) and fit in the boot.

What is the cost of delivery though ? You've not found anyone yet, right ?

Seriously, drive down youself, if your car does 2 MPG then borrow a cheapo from someone. You can hire a diesel car for about £25 a day y'know. Good luck

You'd probably struggle to fit a Saab bonnet to a hired diesel Vectra/Mondeo etc... Plus think of the questions when you hand back said hire car, minus its bonnet!

I bought a bonnet on ebay, thought it was Northampton, turned out to be Nottingham. Made a day of it and drove up there and pack with my partner to collect it (~200-220) mile round trip. Just glad I had a car practical enough to fit a bonnet in

looks like a very practical car! Although I'd be worried about damaging the interior

Shiply.
You will be amazed how cheap stuff is to move now.

used a Renault Kangoo to shift a frogeye bonnet from Devon to Berks...It swallowed the bonnet whole.

Finally got some quotes in and they are all around the £50 mark.

Just imagine what would happen if he had a front end smash or emergency stop!!!!
