Wrong industry sector IMO; too specific to focus on Modified cars and kit cars alone, the market is flat and not constant enough.

CarbonMods only do a small amount for that market with the majority of the revenue coming from material supply (through Easy Composites) and flat sheet supply. Much simpler, much higher profit margins and much less hassle.

I think sometimes people expect aerospace/F1 grade carbon components, not realising that to achieve that level of finish costs ££££s, when all they're willing to pay is ££s and as such you get air voids, small pockets, weave distortion and other issues.

Bad market to be in IMO

Why should they behave in a different way to any other company who makes things to order?

Nobody stops taking new orders, that's not how it works.

"Sorry Mr Jones, we can't take the order for your new 3 series as the others aren't built yet"......

I think it was more in relation to taking orders for the GSi bumpers and then delivering 1/2 iirc which the customers weren't happy with and then not completing the orders

Everyone claiming with the bank/credit card company because their money has basically been stolen isn't the same as receiving a refund.

He'll be open as performance-trimmed next week doing it again.

They took a fucking ages to deliver my stuff and when they did they only sent half the order. Had to hassle them for ages. Nightmare to deal with.

Not surprised tbh.

I never had a problem with the stuff I bought...

Pricey in comparison to Carbon Mods though.

They don't, although if your pockets are deep enough, They'd custom build you one
