We will be closed for manufacturing between Monday 15th September 2014 and Friday 19th September 2014.

 

During this closed week we are making essential modifications to the premises, including a new layout in our trimming area  and we are also adding a new storage department. This new area (that we are adding to the premises layout) will allow us to keep a larger range of popular products in stock, meaning we will be able to offer a quicker dispatch lead time on all popular trim and products.

This closure does unfortunately mean that there may be delays on orders placed between Monday 8th September (and in some cases orders placed after Monday 1st September 2014) and Friday 19th September 2014 (a majority of orders placed between roughly Wednesday 11th September 2014 and Friday 19th September 2014 will be manufactured and dispatched after the workshops reopen on Monday 22nd September 2014).

If you have any questions regarding lead times during this period please contact us.

Our office will remain open, so you can phone and/or email us as normal, but the workshops will be shut.

Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused during this closed period. We would also like to point out that is will not affect:

- Lead times of orders placed before Monday 1st September 2014.
- And also, any bespoke orders that have already been placed (in this instance your original start date and lead time will remain).

Finally, this is very exciting times for us and we hope to have more news very soon about the opening of our shop.

Good afternoon TMF,

 

Just a quick one to let you know that we have updated our centre consoles, basically making them easier to buy.

 

- We have introduced a 1 side fits all design.

- We have removed the option of "pre assembled".

 

 

We often get asked "how do I know if I have a plastic or metal heater?", so we have decided to simply offer a one side fits all all console, thus eliminating the confusion. The new, one side fits all side panel, is basically a combination of the metal and plastic side panel and as the differences between the two panels are so small, it doesn't really make a difference (also, we have always sold one side fits all consoles at shows anyway).

 

And, as you have to assemble the console in the mini (it can't be fitted as an assembled unit, as it doesn't fit like that), we have scrapped the pre assembled option (to be honest I have no idea why we ever offered it in the first place).

 

Anyway, plenty of other updates will be coming soon (including new price structures).

 

For now, enjoy the easier buying experience!!

 

 

Thanks
Andy @ Optimise Automotive

P&P Service Update...

 

 

We have moved all large parcel delivery from FedEx to UPS, meaning new prices (cheaper) for lots of destinations (UK Mainland prices have remained the same though) - check out the new prices here: LINK

Just to let you all know, we will be trading at Stanford Hall (near Lutterworth) on Sunday at the National Mini Owners Club event.

 

It's the last major outdoor Mini show of the year and the weather forecast looks brilliant, so get yourself along.

 

We will be sheltering from the blistering September sun under this...

 

 

So, keep an eye out for us and come and say hello.

 

 

Thanks

We will be closed between Monday 27th October 2014 and Friday 31st October 2014.

During this closed week we will be finishing modifications to the premises, that we started during our closure in mid September.

Since we reopened on Monday 22nd September it has unfortunately been impossible to balance the weekly work schedule and also find time to complete the revamp to the premises. As a result, the decision has been made to close for a second week - allowing us to concentrate all of our efforts on finishing modifications to Optimise HQ.

Just in case you missed the information regarding what we are actually doing to the premises - the modifications include a revamp to our trimming area (including a completely new layout, tailored specifically for our needs) and a new storage department. This new storage department (that we are adding to the premises layout) will allow us to keep a larger range of popular products in stock, thus allowing us to offer a quicker dispatch lead time on all popular trim and products.

This closure does unfortunately mean that there will be delays on some orders placed between Monday 20th October and Friday 31st October 2014. A majority of orders placed between Monday 20th October and Friday 31st October 2014 will be manufactured and dispatched after the workshops reopen on Monday 3rd November 2014.

Hi Andy,

 

Just wanted to get a quick quote from you.

 

I have some fabric I would like to use for a headlining.

 

What would the cost be to make one to suit using the fabric?

 

Cheers

Dave

Hey Dave,

 

Depending on the material (as it could work out a little more depending on what it is like to work with) it will be the cost of our standard vinyl leatherette headliner (for any of the different kits).
