WTF do you know.. I was offering this up as collection in person... would love to know how I could sell this face to face with damage  
  
Don't make accusations, cos it really p*sses me off. 
  
  
Martin has been great through all this and he will have all his money back plus the bonnet to keep. If it had been me, I wouldn't have been so patient. 
  
Chill out...  I didn't know who the seller was but whenever I package something up to send in the post, I package it to protect it whilst its in transit.  Martin rightly said you did an excellent job at this so I can only assume that the damage occured prior to it being packaged or after it was opened.  Either way, the point I was trying to make was that if it was protected, it was unlikely to be the courier. 
  
Thats WTF I know.  
  
 
  
Anyway, I'm sorry if you felt offended.  By all accounts you've handled the situation fairly which is all that can be asked.  No hard feelings
