Little worried as i have no dealings with RotaryArt before so i will burdon you with troubles.
I orderd a scoot type bonnet from RotaryArt with all confidence as Gary seemed to be a genuin fella, He estimated the time of arival of the bonnet as 2 weeks.
its now been nearly 5 weeks and gary disapeared off the forum, his last activity was 8 days ago when he said he would pop down to the place they make em and let me know, 8 days later and i still aint a clue as to where or what is happening.
The big question is Am i 2 worry about where my money has gone or are my doubts unfounded.
A little feedback will put my mind at rest i guess.
Oh and if anyone knows garry tell him to at least let me know whats happening.
This is not flames in any way just concern, as gary knows i cannot access his website to get any contact info from.
Ta steve
Don\'t worry dude - that\'s Gary for you. Think i waited about 12 weeks or something silly. You will get it, I\'m sure. Just takes a very, very long time. Have you got through to him? Did he say he\'s having trouble getting the catch sorted from the engineering shop?
This is not flames
All he said 8 days ago was hes off to the shop to find out and give me an eta.
8 days later and nothing.
I know i aint gonna be the only customer he has but an update would be nice :)
Always had good service from Gary

BTW what was the finish like on your bonnet as i wanna know what kind of work i have to do to get it spot on.
Close up piccy would be good :D
Finish is spot on mate. Paint shop said is was extremely good workmanship that went into it. I am very pleased with it....so pleased with it I drilled three large holes in it last night! :p
Sorry, aint got any close ups right now.

Err 3 large holes ? More bonnet vents ? :D
:D
Yeah, only in the central tunnet on the underside of the bonnet. It will supply cool air to the upper inlet manifold (cool it down) and stops it rubbing on the upper inlet manifold!!
Ah thats what iv gotta do, btw duz it fit with the standard engine strut brace, the one that goes from the shock towers.
Yeah, its got a little anti-bump in it! :p Fits right over. If you have a Arc Intercooler, or Dragon v-mount intercooler, you may need to cut the tunnel, otherwise you should be good.
I do have an arc intercooler but its almost identical to the standard one.
This is my engine bay
Ive been dealing with Gary for the past year....and to me he has been totally amazing!
Very knowledgeable, and willing to help in every way.....doubt the problems are due to Gary, just ring him and talk to him :D
he has the products but falls a bit behind with actually getting them to u unless u strike lucky and he has them in stock

nice bay,will post pics of my scoot tomorrow for you
Gary has always been spot on for me, very helpful and very good!!

Looking forward to it.
Am interested in the underside of the bonnet as well, as everytime you lift the bonnet and show somebody they instantly see it, so i wanna finish it off underneath and could do with seeing what work is involved there.
I know im sad, but
eventually i want every aspect of my car to be spot on.
I\'ve one of Gary\'s scoots on the race car. Lots of pics, etc here:

This is the thread that made me want one of these bonnets :)
I also have the same toelinks and trailing arms on my car, fitted em about 3 weeks ago and thought they would be noisy but they arent at all, not quite as quiet as the stock ones but not at all noisy.
Steve had to cut tunnel to fit over IC i had then, changed since
I have been emailing Gary recently about some new wheels. He stopped repliying to my mails last week but it transpires he has been on holiday, a busy one at that. I would guess that is the reason he hasn\'t been in contact
aye he struggles a little gettin things to you on time, but there have been other times when hes been real quick.
either way im sure he hasnt done a runner!! lol wont get rid of him that easy :)
Gary will go out of his way to sort you out Steve, no need to be concerned. He\'s saved my sanity on many occasions, at unsociable hours! Looks like he\'s been away on business or hols or something.
Just spoken to Gary! He\'s been having some serious internet problems - should be sorted by the weekend. He\'s also been moving his stores and helping his brother move house so hasn\'t been as available on the phone as usual.
Normal service will be resumed ASAP!
Thanx For putting my mind at rest all, i will give garry the benefit of doubt as you all seem to have him in high esteem so i guess hes a good guy :D

Steve cheated had a valeting done well impressed, got pins to go on yet
I ordered some bonnet pins friday and paid £11 just for next day delivery as i need them last week (off to nurburgring in 21 days and have a bonnet to fit and spray between now and then, need pins so i can hack bonnet up before i spray it...also loads of other jobs to do!)
Well obviously its thursday now so thats 6 days and still nothing. I wasnt phoned about it, i had to chase Gary up - however, when i did speak to him it turns out that he has no internet access at the moment due to moving house etc and also has no stock of the bonnet pins.
So although he hasnt been in contact with me at all about it which is a pain, there is a good reason behind it. Don\'t worry, you will get your bonnet otherise gary would have gone out of business by now! Its just all out of his control at the moment, BT are being a pain in the arse installing his new broadband.
Boy am I trying to keep out of this. But I am biting my tongue.

I know *EXACTLY* what you mean Stylus.
I don\'t think anyone is disputing that he is a sound guy, I would completely agree with those sentiments. I got the impression that he\'s always juggling 100 balls at once, and he has been let down by suppliers in the past (especially when it come to bonnets and their hardware).
Anyone have garys number as i aint prepaird to wait 12 weeks as iv missed out on so manny bonnets since i orderd mine.
I know im 2 impatiant but i was promised delivery in 2 weeks but its been over 5 weeks now and no word from him in 15days.
Or somebody phone him on my behalf :D
