We sorted your screen mate, its in, we ordered a new screen rubber for a laminated screen (did a swap for your one), it was a very tight fit but its in, including chrome trim! When are the bits coming so we can hang the doors? And when do you want us to drop it back? :)

Damn... And there was me hoping you were gonna say "its ok mate, you keep it" lol

On a more serious note, everythings painted now, so its just a matter of bolting the doors on, and getting everything ready to go (the sooner the better really as were having a 2nd floor built inside our unit for storage next week and we gotta empty it lol)
