I'd say your right and that his not knowing what he's on about is the most likely cause for the misinformation. As long as he passes the convertible I'll be happy.

Any news on the new supplier?

New supplier is all go its just getting him the parts that needs to be organised. He is still waiting on confirmation if the bonnets are still happeing, thats not my department.

it seems very catch 22.. we have all parts except the grill, and if we remove our order from phill, then there is even less chance that he will even bother doing the grills (which is the important bit)..

what is the general concensus of how long we wait? though after this, i vote to let alfa take a copy anyway.. we just need 1 grill!!!

If Phil is making the parts and come through with the quantity in a reasonable time then we may as well just get them from him, if not then take the first set to Alfa. I think we just get the bonnets and guards done at Alfa though full stop though, that's still my intention anyhow.

the problem i think is future availability.. phil may came through this time.. but what about next time?

Oh I agree 100% we HAVE to at least let Alfa take moulds

I would be very interested to understand the pricing prior to placing orders with Phil. Maybe we can just order the Grills from Phil. There seems to be the numbers. If someone has one set of everything else for mould, then prices may be better.

I know I would prefer CF flares. Not so keen on a CF bonnet. They are very strong and sharp. The very things you don't want in a head on collision. Especially if you wish to keep your head.

Having said all that, can you emagine a Carbon Grill ;-)

i'd love bonnet guards and grill... do we have guess prices yet?

Not much happening here sorry. I'm sure there will be at a later stage though as I need them for my own cars

I am a bit confused at what the probelm is with the grille? what do we mean we only need one grille? what type?

I have a c111 plastic skyline grille in my car, but I wouldn't mind being able to replace it at some point.

Hi matt,

we are talking about a GT-R replica grill, i originally had a copy sent over from japan, but it got destroyed in the moulding process with phil. The only copy i got was later sent off to the US (thining i could easily get more).

Bonnets still happening any progress???
