Warning poor quality replica kits

[DRAGON]

I have just received a replica Feed Type II nose. The quality of the fibreglass and the fit is absolutely hoorrendous.
We have had awful problems with poor quality kits that I cannot sell and are pretty much useless.
We now only use top quality products because it will actually cost less in the long run.
Anyway to cut a long story short, you get what you pay for. The nose pictured here was bought on ebay for £300  , was 8 weeks late and will cost an extra £260+Vat trade to put right and will be full of filler.

What\'s the legality of replica kits?

FEED go after people

[chrisBoid]

Glad they\'re spending my money well then! - Law suits all over the shop!

If I put a lot of hard work into something I wouldn\'t want someone ripping it off AND doing a rubbish job of it too!  There is the possibility of the shoddy replica being mistaken for an original and giving FEED a bad name.

Indeed. Their stuff is nice - and expensive. If people buy fake stuff and it looks ****e it doesnt really reflect well on them and they know that. Hence they dont sit down and take it. They\'ve asked us about copies being made in the UK - but we\'ve not gone there as yet.

They have some **** in Australia too,

My cwest front is a copy. the lights wont go up and down with the plastic surrounds on and nothing really lines up.

was only $400AUD.

But I am wishing I got a Jap RE-Amemiya one now. The skirts and fenders were exact.

I HAVE a FEED T-Shirt. It is Great quality. hehehehe

I\'m interested to know who it came from on E-Bay - name & shame - plus: then anyone else can avoid the same mis-fortune!

Mine was from Hyperperformance and looked pretty much like that.  Even arrived with a crack in it and they wouldn\'t replace the bumper.

Also spent a fortune at the body shop to put it right.  Looks lovely now though since its been sorted.
