I assume this is the soft top metal bars you are talking about and not the hard top?

If you feel that you really want to get it fixed, you might wanna go down the insurance route, I think you can claim it under vandalism. Otherwise it could potentially cost you a lot of money.

Cheers for the replies, much appreciated.

Holy crap though, way worse than I expected.

From the inside the frame "looks" fine, so I might be lucky and be able to fix it, ill sure as hell try at that price, but I want it to be spot on, so we will see.

My roof already had a glass rear screen when I bought it (53 plate, pre-facelift), that's standard isnt it at that age?

A hard top might in in line if this isnt fixable, esp at that price!
