How can you fit something which is not able to be delivered yet???
I'm harrassing him for this piece of carbon for almost 6 months I believe.

Speedy, Mike said last week that he would be sending the first batch out this week-unless I am very much mistaken Did you see the pics of them now they have been made, they look but I am reserving judgement till I see one fitted
Come on Mike

On July 15th Mike states- should get the first batch of ten in next week-so I assumed they would have been sent out by now and fitted, but it seems not
As soon as you get yours Speedy will you post up pics of it fitted please

He WAS going to get it. As in WAS.

Whenever he gets it, I hope to be one of the very first to have it installed.

Pics will then be coming shortly after that.

Marcus is rushed off his feet at the moment, but I am pushing him. However, one person got his this week and Speedy will be picking his up this weekend (if I don't fit it to my car , as I haven't even got mine yet - customer's come first ).

Got mine from Mike this Sunday.

He was finally tired of me sending him PM's and mails almost every week for the last 6 months.

The carbon itself is just brilliant. Just look at how the "thread" of the carbon follows the outher edge of the piece itself (quote Mike).

Mike, you need to get some better pictures up on your site m8.
Here are the once I took yesterday night.

Not on the car yet but that will probably be just before National Day.

Won't be on the car for another week m8.

That girl was Debbie, Jo's girlfriend.

Besides, where's my extra discount for show model?
You told me that you used my carbon piece for pictures on your car.
So, it actually is 2nd hand so I should get a discount on this.

Geert, agreed - but perhaps on a neutral background with no keyboards, lol

Bill,
Just tell me how you want pictures m8 and I'll take them.

Mike,
Don't think so as then I would have paid MUCH more.
Now, about the extra discount --> how does 50% sound???

Geert, anything on a plain-ish background with even lighting would be great, but I'll see if the "web fairy" (just to keep Mike happy - don't want to shatter his illusions ) can do something with those pics

@MATCOS,
I will be at National Day on our local Group Stand. Still have to think of a name.
We'll be there with 5 cars m8; my Ecs Cos, another Esc Cos Motorsport, a Sierra 3door, a Sierra RS500 prototype & an Escort mk1 RS2000
Look me up there, I'm the biggest of the bunch.

@THE RADMAN,
I can't m8. The car is in the garage with the tail almost against the wall. I can not push it out because otherwise I can never get it in without starting and I can not start because I'm missing a fuel rail.
All will be revealed very soon.

Vic,
So have I, I gave up some time last year though, as I only had one customer for that , whereas I knew I could sell loads of the rear exhaust surrounds .

Perhaps if enough people harrass him for them, he might do it .
