Has anyone ever used them????????

Ordered a v5 bumper and a some PIAA fogs from there about 4weeks ago paid for them at the time of ordering in full. Thats where the problem started the bumper took 2weeks to arrive and i was told that it was posted on a certain day but when i checked i found out that it in fact was'nt it so i had been lied to. I also got told that the PIAA lights are no longer avaliable so i said i would swap the lights for a v7 scoop and the rest of the balance back. This was 2 weeks ago. After a lot of calls and messages i finally got a call back from dr and got told that he still did'nt have the scoop in stock and it would be another week at least. Now is it me being funny or should i be getting annoyed this place has had £500 of my money and all i have to show for it is a bumper that cost £240. After speaking to dr i have cancelled the scoop and asked for the rest of the balance back this was on Thursday i have still not recieved my money back. I know its not the post as i recieved some parts that was posted to me on Friday this morning and they came from the same area of the country.

My advice would be to steer clear of dr if you get treated like i have then you wont be happy.

Sorry to dig up an old thread but I'm looking to buy from DR Motorsport and am wondering if anyone else on here has used them recently. If so what are they like?

I'm looking to spend a fair bit and want to do some research before buying.

Cheers

depends which dr motorsport you used?
If its Dave Ried motorsport up herein scotland then I'm surprised that the above had an issue, daves a very keen scooby guy and alot of good reviews for him on here and on sidc.
I sure theres another one in england but not 100% sure what they're like.

I'm looking to use one that is based in Scotland so hopefully it's the chap you are talking about. Site looks good and prices are reasoable to say the least so will get in touch I'm wary after a bad experience with another company. Thanks for the reply though.

APi has used Dave at DR Motorsport [ in Scotland ] for some 6 or 7 years off and on. He's OK. Can be a trifle hard to get a hold of, but he's never let me down and his stuff when it arrives is first class.

I promise it is worth the wait.

That's good to hear. I sent them an email earlier so will give them a go.

They state that parts come painted. I'm no expert with paint but when buying a bumper that is pre painted is it going to match my car to a reasonable degree or will it need to be matched or faded. Excuse my amateur descriptions.

Going back a few years now I used Dave at DR Motorsport ad bought a few bits and pieces, one of which was my STI6 Rear spoiler, it came very quickly, quality was top notch!

The colour match was damn near spot on, and I really couldn't fault it and my car was silver, notoriously bad for colour matching........ the boy did good!!!

That's very reassuring. I've emailed then and am waiting for them to get back to me.

I bought a rear STI spoiler in WR blue for my newage in a group buy for a brilliant price.
The quality of the item easily warranted the price - at over half the price of an OEM equivalent and it fitted in the original bootlid holes.

The only problem I had was with ordering because it got sent to my old address due to a mixup, and although I was told it was going to be delivered I later found the idiot courier had left the item over the fence at my old house when my neighbour rang and told me - luckily nobody had moved in and nobody had pinched it.

So really it was the courier they used that let them down.

It was Dr in Scotland that i used. Have got to say the quality of the bumper i got from them is great and the paint match is spot on dont know how he did it. The problem i had was he told me one thing which i later found out from the courier was a lie if he would have just told me it was going to take a little longer than expected then i would of been fine with that. Never ended up getting a scoop as it was just dragging on so just got my money back. This was a while ago and havnt used them since might give them a go for a scoop again as there stuff is top notch maybe i just caught them on a bad day.
