Drumster Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Just thinking about replacing my white gelcoat GRP front wings. As there seem to be a fair few suppliers out there these days just looking for options. Ta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Lowe Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I bought bought my last pair from DARTFORD COMPOSITES, they don't stock them but made them for me in a couple of days. Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huwp Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Quoting Guy Lowe: Sorry BETTER LINK Guy Do you mind me asking how the price compared to CC? Just a "more" or "less" will be fine. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Lynch Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Vicfibretech £60 delivered and amenable to any custom colour for a little extra so likely my source for rear wings and nosecone at rebuild. Sure he'll do white as a standard given the Boat work I bought black, very good finish, dimensionally identical with the lip like Caterham ones. White underside but that may get painted with black Isoflex to protect them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old gimmer Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Neil at Vicfibretech, nice product and half Caterhams price. Dartford Composites, from my experience, a complete waste of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Lowe Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Quoting old gimmer: Dartford Composites, from my experience, a complete waste of time. At £18 inc. from Dartford Composites I can put up with his 'strange' manner Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old gimmer Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 After paying D.C. and waiting 8 weeks and after frequent promises and receiving nothing, yes they are certainly cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drumster Posted November 19, 2013 Author Share Posted November 19, 2013 Thanks for the recommendations so far. Vicfibretech is looking favourite at the moment provided they can do white gelcoat. For the record, when I rebuilt my 7 in 2007/08 I sourced all new white gelcoat from DC at a cost of £226 and had no problems but the fronts are looking a little tired..... I had heard that they weren't making the Caterham stuff any more hence my post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ordered mine (and a couple of pairs for local members) on the Monday, picked them up and paid for them on the Friday of the same week It would be a shame if they have, as Chris says, stopped production.

Guy Lowe Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Chris, have you tried Redline? I was there yesterday & they have nose cones and wings in stock, not sure if they do gel coat or what colours but worth a try before you pay Vicfibretech prices 😳 😬 Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
