   Has anyone used them?
   I bought a front vt bumper about a week ago from them, thought i would put it on at the weekend before i get it sprayed to find out that both the lhf & rhf side would not sit flush with the arch and the lhf stud that slides it into place did not line up.
   I asked for them to exchange it and they did today to find out this one is worst, the lhf side sit's approx 2" away from the chassis!?
   
   surely this isnt a genuine part? i should of gone to the dealer
   
   any ideas?

   if it cant be fixed with duct tape, elastic bands, or cable ties, then you have a problem

   they're not original parts it tells you its a replacment part thats why it tells you the orignal part number next to it. How ever i did use them last week payed £10 for them to deliver it next working day and it took seven, also the bumper was cracked they sent a replacment when I asked for a refund, But if you speak with the boss man they're quite good. His name is something like martin shipham (its not that but if you ask for that they'll know who your on about.

   Look on eBay. Breakers yards always put peices up on there

    why you would buy one brand new is beyond me. mint ones can be had off here for like £50. and posi blue is like the most common colour for a saxo so no need for a respray
