Best to give them a call. I have used them in the past.

You need to pester though. Also try Coastal Racing for M7 parts

Gave NMS a lot of grief a while ago with promises of sponsoring the site etc, never got off the ground and in fact i had to ban one of the owners due to the hassle and improper posting, i for one will never buy anything from them

[Craig]

I'm even amazed you left the website details in the post Alan... :rolleyes:

as Alan has said above, due to the way a certain person from the company conducted himself (ie very unprofessional) I wouldn't buy from them. Coastal for me would be a better idea, dealt with them before and they were very helpful. They also sponsor Northern Mini ;)

Coastal also NM.

Coastal are an excellent company by all accounts, they are based in Lancaster. They have a strong pedigree in MINI racing.

I've only ever heard positive things about their work and customer service.

i was looking for the black m7 ultimate grill but i don see them in the in the coastal racing so do u guys know where i can find them?
Thanks
Alex

[The Dogfather]

You'd probably have to contact them for a price, if you're registered on tM then you could go through there, or go via NM

[atnova]

right ok i will give it a try thank you
Alex

Its reasons like this that i stopped posting on here. One person has a bad experience with a company and slates it to everyone else. Bit of a contradiction as when i praised a certain company a few months ago, i recieved a pm shortly after warning me about advertising for the company! :frown:

Personally i have had no problems dealing with the chap who runs fomsport who is now a good friend of mine. Ordered various parts off him in the past. M7 pulley, M7 CAI and will be shortly ordering coilovers with him

My advise to you would be to give him a shout if he's only 35mins from you and not to listen to the masses

Being a good friend of yours is gonna get you better service and that goes for even the best companies in the world.
I'm not going into the specifics of my particular bad experience but i didn't ban them for no reason.
I certainly would listen to the masses regarding any company when buying anything as often is the case that real life experiences are worth while.

I left this thread active cause i felt it would be unfair to have a one sided debate.

I can't remember sending a PM about advertising, was it me??

Yes it was you who sent me the pm. I actually still have the pm in my inbox :D It was regarding a sticker on my car of all things. Hardly advertising a company imo

Regarding him being a friend, thats beside the point as i had purchaced the parts from him before hand. He even delivered them to me :thumbs up: Now thats what i call service :yes nod:

Obviously if he's been banned its gonna be a one sided debate. Just thought i'd share my comments on the situation as i dont think its fair to rip him a new A when he cant post in his defence :Whistle:

Anyway, if either of the owners of Fomsport want to speak to me regarding any issues detailed in this thread they can certainly view the site as a guest and click any of the links dotted around the forums to contact me

EDIT: laywer text removed as it was with a different company with no connection to FOMsport.

[stoney]

Well he has posted on some of my threds in other forms and is just dam right rude now 2 me who works for a small company 3 off us I know that customer service is evey thing and when I phoned them they where very dismisive of what I wanted and wanted me to do it there way when I had allready looked in to the best way forward for me at this time now to me that's bad service and if more than 1 or 2 pepes say the same then that says to me I made the right choice bye not using them I would say but if u want to use them that's fine just as of any one elce wants to use them that's fine it there own choice we are free to say what we want to say you may be pals with the guy but he is still dam right rude IMO !!! So if u want to stop posting on here then don't post of u do then that's fine but no need to have a go when peps are just saying what service that have had of said company !!!

Ah, now i remember, again, since this one involved lawyers i won't go into specifics, suffice to say i lost thousands of pounds and have a very bitter taste left over.

One thing, i'm happy for this thread to run it's course, but, please keep any good and bad points in a constructive manner and no direct personal attacks, none so far and it's appreciated :thumbs up:

Having been over to MT to see for myself what some fuss is about i've noticed that some NMS and other forums members have left me somewhat disappointed with the comments.
Sadly that does not tie in with the way i see NMS going and can't see those particular members being beneficial to NMS in any way or form.

One sentence i left on here i had actually responded regarding another incident totally outwith FOMsport but reading the post i could see that it was not in the right context and no amount of saying it was will make any difference to the knockers.
Since it was a totally different member i was replying to i had thought that it was concerning another major classic mini supplier with whom i did have lawyer dealings with and has since been somewhat resolved.

In any event, i expected to get further flaming on there, which i duly did, however, i'm above all that nonsense and am only interested in NMS.
