He's got a ton of stuff on ebay at the mo. I bought a full Scorpion stainless system for the (soon to be) GSi conversion inc exhaust manifold for just ?125 inc postage.

Well chuffed

Why's that Camb? I had no problems at all when i got my mk2 front end and GSi interior off him, seemed a really sound guy..

Well, i ordered an electric window/central locking kit, and that wasn't what came

i recieved a Loom that had been cutt, and hacked, with a total closure alarm wired into it. (minus the alarm lol)

so i had to rewire it all back to standard, central locking still doesn't work.

Will NOT be buying anything from him again.

If you ask for pictures before he sends i'm sure there shouldn't be a problem

lets just say for someone who allegedly rallys/knows a lot about novas he cant tell the difference between brake calipers and discs

nice and uneven braking ;)

Was planning to go back for some more stuff when i get paid, he's got a load of Novas down there..

Try sending him a message from one of his e-bay listings.

if you buy a grill and the clips are broken off and your told they must of broken off in the post and the clips were not in the parcel what would you think? :lol: :roll: :evil:

Nick

yes, and when you send emails asking why the loom is hacked to peices, the best he can do is not reply.

And his ideas of excellent condition wheels are certainly not the same as mine, i don't classify wheels with massive chunks out of them through kerbing excellent condition!

Let alone the weber carb he sold me that only lasted for 2 weeks, before it never worked again (although i have a feeling thats more to do with the dodgy inlet manifold than the carb itself)

Would avoid dealing with him again!

i've been tempted to buy things off him, But i saw the condition of Dicko's GSI kit colin sold.

Again, his idea of excellent or even good condition isnt the same as mine.

Doubt I would use him as he is too far to question if the goods were faulty.

15-02-05, 03:57 PM
My headlights have just arrived! Packaging excellent, good condition - very impressed and would buy from him again. :D

Nick
15-02-05, 06:20 PM
yes he does have alot of stuff..

just i'd onyl ever buy from him again in person, after inspecting the goods !

i don't care if he reads this, because i stil havn't recieved the email replying to why he supplied me half a loom, and how to rewire it !

thanks colin, your best make nick !

I have brought alot of stuff from colin and nether have any problems. I always collect as i know what im getting then.

Stuart
17-02-05, 09:17 AM
yes collecting will mean that you can beat the crap out of him if he lies in person lol

but mail order, i still think hes a dodgy mofo and should be shopped for proably running an illegal scrappy lol
