What other options do we have now for getting bonnets, tailgates and smaller bits made up? Any other similar places out there of comparable quality?

That is a real shame. I had a bonnet, boot lid and door cards from them. Really pleased with the quality and the chap was nice to deal with.

Not good to hear they have taken deposits and no goods. Perhaps things will sort themselves out over the next few weeks.
