Red face just read that Greddy/ Trust has gone pop!

that's one big company to go under considering the quality of the parts and how well the name is respected

Japanese tuning firm Trust/Greddy declares bankruptcy - Autoblog

makes you wonder how many other big companies that supply your common garden car market must be struggling!

Really? They don't do mine and seen as they are one of the most expensive they will be odds on to be next.

Doesnt surprise me as when I needed to get some replacement bulbs for my guages from them they wanted over £6 each for them ! Ended up ordering the same ones from Maplins for 30p each.

Their stuff is good quality, but with so many competitors selling much cheaper then it was probably only a matter of time.

Too expensive, generic products, paying for a name. Simple as that. HKS do a lot of that kind of bolt-on tat as well, where again you're paying for a name and it can be had a lot cheaper in Hong Kong i.e. Fuel Cut Defencers, turbo timers, air filters, intercooler kits etc.
