I think money talks on this request, the more your wiling to spend, the quicker someone might be able to help. Not very often do you see a Cylon suit for sale in the UK. Are you looking for a ready to wear, or a kit, and close enough copy?, an original? Chrome, or Gold? What type of price range are you looking to spend? When do you need the suit by?

I'm looking for a full silver suit. Basically I need it by monday next week. So if its a kit would need to build over the weekend. I'm willing to pay whatever it costs, although would prefer to hire in the UK if possible. Obviously if this is not an option I don't mind paying the extra...within reason. Doesn't have to be an original, just a close enough copy. Just needs a good silver chome finish.

That will be a magic trick if you can get a Cylon by Monday. I don't know of anyone with a Cylon suit in the UK. Can I ask what it is going to be used for?

Look over the members list, and see if anyone you see on the list, is in the UK. Send them a private message to see if they can maybe help.
Good luck, and let me hear about the out come.

I saw the user name Sandra from the UK, maybe that is a start.

My friend, in the near future if you need a Cylon suit there are a few ways you can go. Let me start by stating there are companies that make them for roughly $2,000.00 US Dollars and are NOT bad. If you are trying to be a perfectionist and want EXACT/DEAD ON replica you will spend more like $5,000.00 (including a bulb scanner, not LED)
and lots and lots of time piecing it together. If that is the way you want to go there are alot of people who can help as far as advice on how to make one from scratch. Good Luck!!
