well guys i have to add this comment...


ur dealing with a company in the U.K. so they deal with allot off bull and are usualy very tempermental....its a fact....

im not comenting on what he sayed to u...that was uncalled for..by any standard...

buttttt i got a bad response when i was trying to contact LAMBOSPORT.....

when i was calling them to enquire about a GT front...
they ether never answered or took my order as some prank calll....

any way.... i called a freind up in England and asked him to buy it for me.....and i got the parts.....with no problem or delay..

again...lool a front carbon fiber GT bumper cost me 3000 english Paunds...

sooo in the end they are cheaper.... as long as there parts are Fully made of Carbon Fiber......that is

at that price...why dont u order a gruop order...then they will take u much more seriusly..... with a sample as to be aprouved before the end deal...

thats the way to go....

becouse by the sound of it... THIS KIT CAR GUY HASNT DEALT WITH MANY LAMBO OWNERS...... AFTER ALL HE IS A KITT CAR MAKER....


but thats just my 2 cents...

Well, I'm the last one to be talking because I've been known to get upset at times (oops).

I've found that it's easy to misunderstand things on the internet .... or peoples intentions "sometimes", and it's easy to make mistakes when talking to others unless we know them well. Some people are very sensitive and over react to simple questions (I know I'm sensitive to certian issues) sometimes. I think asking specific prices is not only smart but well within the bounds of normal conversation when shopping & purchase planning, and maybe you should try one more time to see if the guy is willing to be civil & reasonable?

I know a bunch of guys here were hoping to see these Clear Hoods and hoping to hear about a cool success story. On the other hand, a kit car hood is a kit car hood and no way in hell sells for anywhere near the price of a Factory Hood.

ps: there are dozens of guys making kit car hoods, let's all so some searching and get the best prices.

Well your 2 cents is way off the mark, but not sure why the conversation went the way it did, but probably because he thought it was some kind of scam as its outside UK, there is a lot of problems at the moment in the UK with scams and stuff so everyone is a bit over precautious.

Anyway, I have dealt with them, and bought my GT bonnet and front spoiler from them and everything went like clockwork, I also ordered the rear carbon surrounds for the stop lights, again no problems. I can alos vouch for him that he has supplied many Lamborghini owners and also deals a lot with a guy called Mike Pullen (which some of you may know) who is very well respected in Lamborghini circles in the UK.

Just my 1.14 pence worth

hi
i also purchased from Naz and he was very helpful. he went as far as to let me forward parts to him from other UK companies to bundle together and forward to me in 1 package.
i did send him an email letting him know he is getting a flogging on the website, and he restated he maintains a price for kit buyers and a price for upgrades for original owners.
it would not be the first time a lambo owner has paid a premium price for parts...))))))
if you want poor service, try eurospares....((((((

It was a "Real Experience" so flogging or not one of the purposes behind LTalk is to provide a Forum for Real Experiences, good & bad.

In The Past Everything Lamborghini was pretty much an Unknown, except for Magazine reviews. Now, with the type of World Wide Community that we have, information sharing has IMO Helped Many People avoid some of the bad portions of Lamborghini Ownership, and Help them find more of the Good Things. Everyone in the Lambo World reads this Forum whether they are members or not so the Experiences of our Owners have long legs. I even get phone calls from total strangers that have Lambo questions and look up this sites ownership on whois. So the message should be, Treat Lamborghini Owners with Courtesy & Respect or it just could turn into a Page Ranking headache that could have been easily avoided.
