:mad: i would just like to take this oppurtunity to warn all other fez drivers (and in fact any drivers), never ever go near this half assed excuse for a styling company. They kept me waiting for 2 months on a WRC style front bumper, which i only received after hustling thenm with fone calls every day. When i finally got the bumper after exactly 53 days i opened the packaging to find the shoddiest excuse for a styling product which i am ever likely to lay my eyes on. I could accept if this had been due to damage in transit but there is no way it was due to that. On each side of the bumper, there were massive stress cracks, chunks out of the fibreglass and lines were "scraped" over most of the bumper. Now fair enough lads, i know that when buying fibreglass products one should expect a bit of prep work and nip n tuck etc. but this bumper beggars belief. I have resigned myself to the fact that i am going to have to get it repaired myself for fear of sending it back and having to go through all the hassle of getting a fresh one again. This is a message to steer clear of these shysters!! the overriding fact also was that they had my payment in full from day one. I have learned, and i hope i can help you others to avoid wasting hard earned cash on shoody products. :mad:

Same with RJM motorsport-took 8 weeks for my mondeo spoiler to arrive and when it did everyone thought it was second hand-absolutely crap quality and I even hed to chop about 2" off it so that the boot would still open!

fibresports r the best for RS2000 skirts st2000. But we shouldn't have 2 put up with shoddy products all the same. When you are shelling out silly amounts of money u would expect to get a decent product these days!

About your motor........Think of the finished article man!! thats what keeps me modifying!! Nice car though, I saw the pics of the interior on your site. :Q

RJM are bollox, my front bumpers made by then, it didn't even nearly fit the car, once it was all redone to fit, I found its do-do quality and with the gentlest of touches with the tarmac its all cracked and splintered, whereas my mate with a Novas fibreglass front bumper had been hammered and hasn't cracked at all!

Prosport mondeo spoilers are all slightly twisted, they are lower on the left hand side!!!! only fust gits like me notice though! :bonkers:
