Personally, I don't think for one minute think that Milsport have copied my scoops
he hasn't stuart, but originally i said
watch out stuart, once you've got them done, milsport might copy them,

my whole gripe is the fact, that milsport imo has copied a ets scoop and in his advert for it, on his site, he is putting down your scoops stuart and your scoops derek.
eg:
"BEWARE!!!! Similar looking products have no inner scoop at all and some even have them facing the wrong way!

Buy the one that does the job! "


thats it, i didn't expect this reaction maybe you do protest too much

Looks like you were right after all Warwick,

I'm dissapointed in you Ralph, when you said you had made your scoop from balsa wood and filler i believed you, now when i've checked my records, it shows that i sold you a scoop (style D) on the 7th February 2004,

Dont want to offend anyone here so please dont take this the wrong way but Ralph from Milsport (who is a top helpfull chappie !)
G4 your right, hes helped himself to my design

i don't think so micky if you'd tried to order one it would be on your car now , as i've always had a stock of them!
every person which has rang about a scoop paid by paypal and got them next day delivery, they were very if you'd rang you'd have one!

i spoke to sumbody called derek (i asume)and sumbody called dave(i asume)

which one are you?

belive me, i wanted one on my car for the nbo2 and you lost your sale a few months ago

i did want one on my car, and it seams i dont have one on my car so what gives?

i was told that there was none in stock and to ring back in a week, kinda got repetitive, do you let strangers answer your mobiles?

my mate had problems ordering side scoops from you as well!!!

they did go up, from £65 to £69

i spoke to sumbody called derek (i asume)and sumbody called dave(i asume)

i stand corrected mickey,
i thought your were talking about the sti8 scoops, you (i assume) did enquire about the larger, normal shape scoop in may,
there was none in stock and you rang dave a week later and asked again if there was one ready but IIRC you didn't order one. (i'm Derek)

i was told that there was none in stock and to ring back in a week, kinda got repetitive, do you let strangers answer your mobiles?
i don't think two phone calls is getting repetitive,
no! we answer the phones ourselves, unless were in the middle of laying up moulds and can't answer at all,
my mate had problems ordering side scoops from you as well!!!
we only do the one side scoop, is that the reason?
the only problem anyone has really, is that they want the parts yesterday, thats fine with us but some times its not possible, you've got to understand mickey that we receive over 40-50 emails enquires a day its not possible to make all the parts enquired about as some parts take days to complete we've got to prioritise and put the people who've paid first,

i'm sorry it hasn't worked out but when one door shut another one opens, you can be the first to put stuarts scoop on your car

well if you had business would you buy in or make stuff for someone just because of a phone call saying you want one without taking aleast a deposit or the full amount, NO i wouldn't either because there's load's of time waster's,(we've all done it) how does anyone know if anyone's on the level without the money there's no sale

Will get some pictures done of the MY93-96 car tonight (mine) I've fitted a carbon skoop with mesh. Hopefully can get some of the 97-00 car as well.

Mesh is definately optional , I only put it on mine because I have a front mount and looking straight into the under bonnet area wasn't particulary pleasing. These are the first intercooler skoops made, so fit on the next ones will be better. There shouldn't be any problem with the strength of the base, especially the carbon ones . PS The pics of the 97-00 glassfibre skoop were done with the skoop not bolted down, which may be why you think the fit could be better. Gossy wanted the carbon one fitted, but allowed me to take a couple of quick shots of the glassfibre first, hence why we didn't bolt it down.
