Re: Mouldings - Good News!

I suspect that this may be something others more knowledgeable than me already know but I've stumbled across another manufacturer of RM fibreglass panels after buying a rear corner panel on the well-known online auction site. I was surprised to find that instead of a Greengates label there was one for N & M Fibreglass. Pursuing this further I find that this is a friendly family firm in Worcestershire who offer a range of panels from grilles to wheelarches ( http://www.nandmfibreglass.co.uk/ ). I spoke to one of the directors, Alistair Nash ( alistairnash@nandmfibreglass.co.uk - 01527 870282 ) who told me that as well as the items on the website they are working on a bonnet for future sale as well as some other parts. They can also offer fibreglass repairs and spray painting. Sounds all very helpful!

I found that site a couple of weeks ago but forgot to post it on here. I also contacted the administrator of Greengate/Jade/whatever their last trading name was but they never got back to me.

Re: Mouldings - Good News!

Thanks Roy - it sounds like we've got a useful alternative to Greengate's anyway...

Re: Mouldings - Good News!

I've used N&M to replace my Grill, both headlight panels and rear numberplate panel.
I was happy with the panels and their service is pretty good too, i was told the parts are made to order but they turned up 48hrs later.

With them you can also choose gel coat colour (with in reason)

Re: Mouldings - Good News!

A few weeks ago there was a thread on here about a firm who was reportedly getting rod of a lot of glass fibre moulds, does anyone remember who they were as they had RM moulds in stock and we were reassured they weren't disposing of RM moulds.

Re: Mouldings - Good News!

It was N &M Roy - I think they were disposing of later vehicle type moulds not RM ones thankfully !
