Just my £1's worth.

I have yet to see a GRP product that comes even close to the quality of Tritons ones.

I saw one of the Major brand bonnets recently. The RRP was in the region of £360 Personally I thought the product was crap !!??

The cost of materials has gone through the roof the last few years,

Surely no one could begrudge Mark a modest living for his efforts

at the end of the day it all depends on how much spare time you have and how much money your willing to spend.

yes you can spend £85 on a robin hood nose and make it fit but you will prob spend a week cocking around chopping it up to get it to fit.

sometimes its worth spending that little bit extra not to have all the messing about.

to be honest by the time you have spent £30 on resin and matting to sort out the choped up one, then £15 on filler then had it all painted up to look nice it works out more expensive than the triton nose cone. that is unless you already have some spare resin and matting from another job.

yes the triton one is £50 more but you can order it have it delivered and bolt it straight on no fuss.

Surely, it would be good to have some alternatives to the present single supplier.
But the quality of the parts made by Fabbyglass (I bought nose cone, scuttle and wheel arches) is superb.

So who is going to offer similar things preferably at a lower price ??
And who is willing to try out if the parts are up to standard ???

I agree, but by virtue of the Haynes Roadster, it does rather indicate I have more time than money .... or I'd have a MK etc. All I'm saying is when someone asks for advice on another manufacturer, lets give that advice, rather than ignore the question and sing the praises of Triton products.

I'm made to feel that by discussing other suppliers is taboo and is somehow taken as a slight to Fabby. All I want to know is do MK indy (and other suppliers) make compatible body panels.

Kits parts direct was Lolocost which was owned by Richard Stuart/Robin Hood Engineering before being sold to GBS.
Lolocost started selling Locost parts and added Robin Hood parts later on.
They sold both Robin Hood sized parts and Ron Champions Build a Sportscar for £250 parts including a chassis.
Currently they sell a mix of Robin Hood and Locost stuff.
Most of the stuff is OK but pays your money etc.
You can see the parts on the GBS/Robin Hood stand at the shows.
But like everything you should check price and quality and compare.

Glad to know they have been of good service to you,
