popped down yesterday for a little look. Bought myself some cobra classic in black with Subframes and headrests . Staff seemed much more helpful than have been in the past and seats came well wrapped and the chap i believe to be the owner helped me carry it all out to the car. Cost me £256 all in, unfortunately they don't do discount for TMF, BMC or Forces Discount, I did try though lol.

Will report back when seats are fitted, and let you know if I've had any fitting issues.

8/10 so far though. Lost 2 points for not doing any kind of discount, but saying they might be cheaper at Bingley IF they take them.

I agree, when i went last, they don't seem to care at all, not even about taking your money, they were rude to me and my dad and aren't very helpful imo.

I found them to be helpful and flexible on price when spending a reasonable amount. I spent £1200 on a selection of suspension bits and wheels and got about £90 off. The parts were not in stock at other places either. I suppose as with all parts suppliers it depends on who serves on the day and how much they like you.

i can honestly say, whole heartedly, point blank, straight up they are rubbish! service is shocking and quality is poor. The only good things they have are protech coil-overs and maybe a cobra seat if your into them.

[Boothy]

Used them so many times bought wheels, suspension and seat subframes never had a problem once. Never been rude and never had a problem with parts once, and will carry on using them. You only have to look at the quality of there project cars to see there not cowboys.

I've been using them for years and have never got why so many people on here have a problem with them. Always been friendly and helpful to me.

[AllyWilson]

I use them on a regular basis, everything that i've ever bought from them has been excellent and i can't complain at all. Only ever had one problem when buying from them when the dashboard i had ordered was out of stock, i just asked them to refund it and they did so there and then, which i was happy with.

Well maybe they are reading these threads and adapting the way they work. Definately much better than previous experiences. But what I have bought is authentic Cobra seats rather than copies, and I was also after a set of Yoko's, but didn't have enough room in the car lol.

In the past though there was only one girl in there (fairly young and blonde), and she seemed reluctant to help in any way whatsoever, even when we enquired about the price of one of the cars they had for sale in there. She was the one that served me this time and her attitude was totally different.

^^ must be christmas.

I've bought quite a bit from them at shows and have always found them to be helpfull and nice to deal with.

If you wanted a discount... why didn't you wait 3 days and get them in the sales? :s

However... if you're anything like me... it was "ooooo I want.... ooooo I'll take them!"

get some pictures up when you have them fitted!

p.s. I have bought a few bits from them - found them fine
