I'm in a bit of a battle at the mo trying to get a new one sorted as the one I got was pap. I've heard that TDK do good quality ones so if I do get my money back that's where I'll be going next. I got mine through P&L but the mould was ABS. I'm woundering if their mould has gone wrong some how or problems with them setting, as he said they have not had problems with the last 200. Might want to wait to see if people have had more luck here when your ready to buy.

Hope this helps :thumbsup:

Got mine from Dave at TDK Racing, quality is amazing.

I will be putting a worklog up soon, you will see the quality when i start fitting it.

i had major arguments with p+l minis... purely because they wanted me to wait a month for it to be made when competitors were doing them at 2 weeks.

so we wanted to cancel our order (within 1 day and it was a bank holiday in any case)
and they said they wouldnt refund us.

so we had to go through the credit card company to get the money back.. i guess they just stopped the transaction? :S

i highly recommend dave at tdk... hes a top bloke. Very very helpful even if your not talking about his products.

the second one will be far too wide and you will have a gap between your doors and the front (width gap).

You might also want to try smudger on here. I'm just about to order a front off him but he's done jet black's and few others all with positive feedback.

Mine was a second hand 2 piece, the guy i bought it from had a go at fitting but was to lazy to get the grinder on it and gave up, its quite thick grp, paid £80 for it and as you all know from my pics its a pretty damn good fit.
The one I had before was a cheap minispares one(1 piece), very thin but fitted straight on. Price doesnt always mean youll get a good fit...
