The only shape issue is the wide scoop bonnet as the mould was made badly it is on my list of new moulds but like everything else they take time

This is the standard bonnet but it does not fit with the mx5 plenum although a power bulge may look ok but the fit is much better i will be making the new wide scoop mould from this mould with the wider scoop blended in

Ok I have dealt with Dave and also can vouch for him as a person
I am not going to make excuses for the communication or his personal situation but will clarify a few points re the mounds I have had a previous set of bodywork from these moulds ( Gilliam) and there are issues with them the "current" wide scoop bonnet requires @ 1/4" removing from the centreline in front of the scoop opening, reinforcing and refinishing. Only do this once you are able to clamp it down on the car .
There are and have been some " marks" in the mould on the outside edge of the o/s rear arch
I know that he is working hard to sort these issues and I wish both him and all waiting the very best
As a wee pointer anyone taking seconds with a view to wrapping them , don't use red vinyl as it very quickly fades to pink .... I know from experience

Good luck one and all

Has anyone heard from Dave and/or come to a conclusion with regards to their orders/refunds?

I do hope we're not just expected to go away and so problems don't need to be faced.
