Well I have been asked ALOT about these but.....whilst I am interested in doing all things to make Minis go quicker I am haveing trouble with the fit of "standard" bumpers. If I can't get decent bumpers (tried Hertiage, didn't fit that well) then I can't do a decent mould from them. |

What about aluminium alloy bumpers? This way I could use them in historics :) Prefereably in the shape from the Clubman! On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:

I've just weighted my bimpers. The original pattern ones were 1668 grammes, and the Curley ones were 304... That's quite a weight saving :) On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:

Edit: this is a very old post I notice, still it's worth pointing out what I said below.

Nice to know you got it sorted out in the end Wil, a pity it took the lengths it did for the supplier to refund you.

I bout 50pound worth of tickets!:( but i finish uni on the 8th n all ill be doing is working on the mini and oh yes... phoning him every five minutes until something arrives just for the hassle he causes everyone else!! am i being childish? its the only way i can think to annoy him! martin I'd take it up with the guy who organised the raffle first. I'd ask for the equivelent money that the prize cost, then you could buy a propper one somewhere else. I think not receiving a prize is grounds to go to cought. It's so easy see here http://www.hmcourts-service.gov.uk/infoabo...laims/index.htm and here https://www.moneyclaim.gov.uk/csmco2/index.jsp. Cost £30.

i cant speak for anyone else, but ive honestly had nothing but good service from Smudger, sometimes the odd delay, but nothing extreme.

I don't buy off anyone on ebay who has less than 95% positive feedback... Sounds like Smudger is up around 10% positive from what I've heard.
