You can put the old HD into an external drive case, boot from it and copy your info into the New SSD.

If you are just doing it straight from the SSD, you'll need to have OS X Snow Leopard on DVD before installing Lion...

If you MBP is still under warranty you can call the Apple tech support hotline and they will help you set it all up...

Thank you.
I hadn't tought about that.
I've done a restore by booting from the usb drive with command+R so i'd get into recovery mode

From there used
Disk Utility (4th option in the option-list)
And performed an restore from usb to SSD.

This works

*gives worship to Sonicray*

*pokes apple for not fixing Internet Recovery - cause i have a big internet line with no data limits so care, I'd be nice that in the future this option - would work..
