I think you would end up paying pretty close to the same once you factor in shipping from the US. But try Topsonline:

Not sure if they ship international though.
Cabrioworld.com does ship international, however, their prices aren't far off what you were quoted and the shipping would probably make it the same.

Just installed the hood, couple of problems though
1. The roof is super super tight. Took alot of pushing to trap it down. Hopefully as it is strapped down it will losen???
2. The roof and door rubbers dont seem to line up. See the picture below??
3.What do you do with the surpluss fabric at the back of the window, shown in pic below??
4. At the back of the window near the main soft top post there is a gap, is this normal??

2. Did you rivet the plastic part of the roof in the right location? Also, make sure you put the chrome trim holders back in the right position. make sure the screws touch where they were touching before. You might want to try loosening the chrome strip and pulling the top out a bit before tightening it back down.
3. Looks like an oversight at the factory. I haven't seen that much excess before, especially in that location. I would just tuck away as much as possible and cut off the rest. They might have revised the design to include that as a temporary pull strap during installation as well.
