im waiting on a TTS cover to arrive, been over 3 weeks now since I sent him my money! :surprised:

He said he's stacked out at the minute - I don't think I'll be so lenient if it goes on much longer

@danishmkvgti (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=237) have you received anything yet?

Whilst I appreciate these things take time to make/mod etc it's been nearly 5 weeks since I paid him and nothing to show for it yet

@admin is Chris Reid a member on here?

@Tfsi_Mike (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=293) I'm in contact with him on Facebook, but keep being fobbed off as to how busy he is, but I'm losing patience now.

I've sent some parts to wickedcoatings. Been easy to deal with so far and say its going to take a couple of weeks for my parts to be sent back.
 
Also they don't take payment till the work is done and ready to send.

trouble is you have to send items to them, and they might be in a bad shape, he's using new parts and sending them which is one one time shipping, IF he delivers as promised

Yeah true just depends what you want done i suppose.

I sent my centre radio surround top and bottom for £3.60 so not breaking the bank.

Just seen on FB that he's just gone on holiday to Spain. Me thinks time to raise a PayPal claim. I've waited long enough and now he's on holiday without letting me know if the delay.

Yup, I'm still waiting!

He said the first time round the item went missing in the post

He's now on holiday but assures me he has left instruction with a friend to send it to me whilst he is away

sent him trims from my golf r, was told it would be 2-4 weeks. 3 and a half month later and still no sign of trims. always saying they will be with me week after week. personally i would recommend everyone to avoid.
