Where is the cheapest place to get a Mugen style hardtop in the UK?

I imported the RockStar Garage full carbon Mugen style hardtop, cost £1400 but got stung with £600 import fees.

It included rubber trim for the seals but IMO its worth getting a second hand OEM hardtop to butcher for the OEM seals and latches!

Probably would have been on par with the cost of Seibon but I heard good things about the RockStar fitment and I wanted Carbon inside and out so I didn't have to get it sprayed like the other fibre glass models. Im certainly pleased with it, fits as well as my OEM hardtop with no leaks, even with their own seal kit!

My friend in the states also recommended this brand too. 600 import fee is insane! Would you happen to have some photos of it being on the car?

Thanks

Yea I was hoping to get lucky with the fees as I have beforehand. Thing which made it most expensive was that it was air freight not see freight and got stung with all sorts of fees like storage and fuel by some ropey haulage company more shady than parcel force. Specifying or arranging a courier yourself for ex-works could yield better results!

Anyway, some pics:

That is gorgeous, such a shame about the import fees, looks worth it though
