I'll second that!

Cheap aint always good, especially when it comes to stuff like rads,coolers and all the other bespoke stuff pro-alloy do!

Thats just not true! just because someone can afford to pay for something doesn't mean they loose their sense of whats good value and isn't!!!!

do you think I put Ł70 worth of petrol in a car and go 'wow, that was cheap???'

and just because you can't afford things doesn't mean you can't say thats not cheap... for example. If someone offered you an Ferrari Enzo for Ł100k right now, would you think thats cheap??? YES! doesn't mean you could or want to buy it does it! but thats fooking cheap for an Enzo isn't it!

IMO- You cannot better the service Wayne/Alex and the boys provide. For the quailty of finish and bespoke parts they can make in super quick time you cant get better...

When you go shopping do you buy Rola Cola or Coca Cola.
Both are the same thing, but one is in a league of its own !

You get what you pay for....end of story...they have a great reputation for a reason, that is not created over night, it takes alot of hard work and good quality of work to keep the customers coming back.

if you wanted cheap crap that would break after a week and ignore you once it does then you can get some numpty in his shed to knock something up for you....if you want quality workmanship and a quality product its worth spending the extra few pennies

Im sure you will be extremely happy with what ever you have done there.

My point is....

some twat came onto this post with no experience of ProAlloy and just wanting to slag them off without actually having any experience of the company or its products...

THATS why it wound me up... if you havn't got anything good or relevant to say... then don't gob off is my view!

and I just see the way Wayne and Alex bend over backwards time and time again to help people and they really do make some quality gear, (yes it may not be the cheapest, but quality costs!) and it drives me mad!

its not like they are charging loads for cheap shite stuff that doesn't work and robbing people is it?!?!?!?

I'm currently eating dust to settle my bill at the end of the month.

Worth every penny.


Pro Alloy Motorsport are the nuts. I'd only be repeating what's above about thier top customer service and the finsih of thier products.


I just had the lads make me a total custom radiator and charge cooler system with matching tanks for my Supercharged Mk1 Fiesta.

MY GOD!! I was expecting good things and they surpassed everything i expected. Completion time was rapid and this was all one-off stuff remember. They even did the typical Pro Alloy thing of adding a little twist to the design to make it much better.

With mine, they didnt like the thermostat so they made thier own and the charge cool rad was subtly shaped to the curve on the Mk1 slam panel! A detail i overlooked and it makes a huge difference to the finish.

VERY impressed.

Price sometimes doesnt really come into it.

Used them for my turbo's fuel system and my Mk1's cooling system. If i need anything again, they will be my first port of call. PURE quality and good performance from the products. Can't recommend them enough.


Market leaders IMO.

......and then we took it to Pro Alloy to get it modified as we knew it would be the best job and done quick!

Ive never taken cakes or money and seem to get a great service!

Hell, Alex even once made me that cuppa that he always promised!!!
