Default Big Shout Out to Mike Rainbird/R&B Motorsport

I've bought a few things off Mike now and always had excellent service along with advice etc and will no doubt deal with him again in future, but having read a lot of threads on various forums in recent times about people being ripped off and given sub-standard service, I thought I'd give Mike a bit of recognition for being top notch. I'm sure plenty of people on here have dealt with him, but to anyone looking for bits who haven't yet, give him a try.

I was trying to get a certain set of wheels in a non-standard colour finish and slightly out of the norm PCD/Offset/Size combination and wasted a lot of time with people who said they could sort them, but had no problems at all with Mike and all for a good price too.



Cheers Mike!

Mike is one of the better people to deal with and will help where he can.

I did give him some greif about waiting time on a carbon part once that in all fairness was out of his control but he was very professional and continued to try and get the part to me asap.

Good to hear this. All too often people are quick to complain when stuff aint right.(Not with mike but in general) So it makes a change to hear praise.

PMSL, since the first day i met mike (NOT IN THAT WAY!!) he`s never changed

but he is the only reason i was obsessed with over 500 genuine bhp in a rwd saff.

took 4 of us out at AVA years ago in his saff, i was shocked, everyone in the car said FUCK at the same time which was about 500rpm in 3rd

Hmm I will have to keep an eye out for this car, as someone who spends a fair bit of time over Bridgnorth way! Nice wheels and the car sounds interesting!

As above, got a few bits off Mike over the years and pestered the crap out of him with questions and always been very helpful! Same goes for Mark Shead and Bruce at Bailey, may I add!?
I'm deffo guilty of 'moan and whinge when things go wrong' and not always so thankful when stuff gets sent out quickly and efficiently!
