Hi, I am looking to buy a fibreglass bonnet and I’ve looked across a few suppliers but find the ready to fit bonnet from Arc Angels appealing. Could someone who has used them provide feedback on lead times and service, or is there a preferred alternative supplier of fibreglass mini parts.
Thanks
(Edited to include to missed word “bonnet”)

A very busy company where about 5% of their business is Mini related. If you want it in a hurry forget it.

search the forum you will find many comments.

I purchased a roof skin from them. As Nick said don't chose them if you are in a hurry. But the product was great and so was the customer service. Try curley
I ended up taking a road trip and collected it 😀

If you're are after carbon fibre then definitely contact carbon weezel. I have quite a few products and would highly recommend him!!

Spoke with the manager/owner as I collected, and he seems like a really decent guy - cannot comment on delivery times but mine were ready to collect when they said they would be and are pretty good for fit (as good as anything fibreglass can be generally)

ABS are very good. Have saved many Mini kit cars over the years.

Have bought much from them.

Carbon Weezel's items look awesome, probably a bit overkill for my car at the minute though!

Arc Angels are good, they have posted recently a major update as taking on new staff and have had personal family issues which affected them last year. I've got their two piece front end and miglia arches.

Curley must be losing loads by not delivering. I'll be needing a carbon roof eventually but will need it delivering as will most people.

A friend wasted a year trying to get a clubman bonnet from carbon weezle. Constantly fobbed off being told it had been started or was nearly done. Eventually got his money back and got one from Arc Angels who delivered it within the time promised.

I collected a bonnet from curley as not far away, the finish lasted about 4 months before it turned cloudy but I just sorted it myself, to be honest I wasnt that fussed.
Shame about carbon weezel, very unlike him!!!
