PaulMags Posted November 10, 2010 Report Posted November 10, 2010 has anyone bought one of these and a boot lid with the strengtheners from smith and deacon?if so what is the fitting like.
LEONMEX Posted November 10, 2010 Report Posted November 10, 2010 Hello mate,i have them on my escort & they are s**t to be honest. I took the glass boot off & put a metal on as it sat to high near the rear scuttle & in the bonnet you can see the x strength plate from the outside of the bonnet. I have there wings aswell & to be honest they are crap aswell,i would not fit there stuff again. Hope that helps

LEONMEX Posted November 10, 2010 Report Posted November 10, 2010 my stuff was put on my car about 8 years ago so it could of got better but i have never heard good reports about there stuff & they are a pain in the arse to deal with aswell,i got sent a mk2 bonnet first & they told me it was for a mk1 I ordered a mk1 bib spoiler but got sent a mk2 mex spoiler,i had enough by that point & gave up & never sent it back as i had just had enough of them. Try old ford autos as i have only heard good about there stuff

Jonb Posted November 10, 2010 Report Posted November 10, 2010 Fit is still shit - gap from about 5mm to about 15mm is the best I could get - its being used to repair the shed roof now. Someone said they had had insurance problems over fibreglass panels too
