Try ABS motorsport - Not sure how their prices compare.

Arc angels are known for being difficult to get hold of and have poor general customer service but reasonable products.

I've got a set of 'carbon' bumpers from them because they were on offer. They took around 4 weeks to arrive which I though was a long time considering i'd had no warning of how long they would take. They came taped together and wrapped in 1 layer of bubble wrap which I didn't think was suitable to safely transport 2 fragile carbon bumpers - Although the did arrive in 1 piece. I tried ringing them multiple times whilst wondering where they were and not once could I get through on the phone or get replys to emails either.

Finally the quality of the bumpers - The carbon weave they're made of is so thin you can see through it if you hold it up to the light, the clear lacquer over the carbon is also so thin that in some places the carbon protrudes through the lacquer! The reverse side of the bumpers is built up with thick layers of fibreglass and resin, so really they are essentially just a fibreglass bumper with 1 tiny thin layer of carbon stuck on top with a quick blow over coat of lacquer, so they'll be really heavy compared to real carbon parts like carbon weezels.

All in all the bumpers are OK for what I wanted, they look the part and so far have lasted a year on the car without chipping/cracking or degrading in the weather either - But I wouldn't order from them again.

Guys were very friendly at the show yesterday
Was thinking of getting some of there stage 2 arches the black ones
They have 5 holes for the front to fit better as I have a carbon fibre front
And not always perfect shape

We bought a set of rear van doors and found product very good. We have been in contact with them about other products and had no problems. Maybe we were just lucky!
