Default Cheapest Replacement screen for Alpine

Like a twat, I have trod on my beloved XDA IIi and cracked the screen.

Does anyone know of anywhere on the internet I can locate a replacement screen kit. I am located in the UK, I have found one on Ebay for about £95.oo from Hong Kong, but I would prefer from UK and at a cheaper price cause I'm skint.

Thanks :cry:

Have a look here. Worked for me when I had to strip my 2i down.

Where did you get your screen from by the way?

I got the screen from here, http://www.runpda.com/ , it cost £93.00
including shipping. But I got stung by customs for £38.00 Tax, rip-off, so it cost me £131.00 in total. I've bought from this part of the world before and not been charged by taxman, its just the luck of the draw.
Someone suggested this place in the UK, but I had already ordered, if anybody tries this one, post costs etc for everyone. Mobile Repair Centre in London. 177a North end road 0207 610 3103.

I've dismantled my XDA IIi and the new screen is in and she is working fine now, I'm so happy. Thanks to all
