Stainless "chrome" kidney grill FS
- Thread starter Drew Gregg
- Start date
It was somehow discussed here https://e9coupe.com/forum/threads/5...duction-in-stainless.41184/page-5#post-402764
This is the company that shipped me a broken rear bumper and disappeared with my money.
Run fast in the other direction.

Drew, i sent them out a sample mint grille on the proviso it would be send back and not damaged. Still not heard back. The grille photographed is actually the one I had made. It presents well but is very heavy (approx 1.2kg), studs were not aligned and it did need more tweaks before series production could be considered, chiefly was slightly too wide fouling the grille opening and was visible not symmetrical.
When shown the initial photos I stated that prototype needed changes before even being shipped to me but was told that the next one I purchased would have the changes done. These were not done, so any that are purchased will still have these defects.
I also got a set of bumpers from them, rear needed some rather significant modifications to fit correctly.
John Feng was in Vietnam on business and attempted to contact them numerous times and was never able to connect. I cannot recall if John actually went over to their place as well. John wanted new rubber bits for his rear under-riders and I was considering buying the SS under-riders since I do not have any and figured that despite SS scratching easily, these are in a remote enough location to experience little trauma. Needless to say, staying far away. Poor business to alienate our group.
Amy is all about paying Friends and Family PayPal or Wise so there is no recourse for buyer. This is a disreputable company and will steal your money and not respond when their product arrives broken or badly made.
Be advised that their bumper brackets are bondo‘d into the bumpers- these bumpers are for display only.

Interesting if eBay GSP is able to keep some safe dealing with them as they're selling on eBay officially? Just theoretical question in case Anyone would like to feel a thrill and would like to do some hand made adaptation to his/her E9. ;-)

Exactly why I do not do F&F PayPal any longer… don’t care who asks.
Really? The set I got off them were welded in
I wish…
Happy to share my correspondence with Amy here on the the board. It’s not pretty.
I sent pictures and videos... offered to buy another bumper set if she sent me a replacement left rear corner.
Told her how important it was. She recommended that I take the broken piece to be welded which of course ruined the finish at my expense.
NINE months later- no bumper......

Mission completed. Although we had discussed these stainless parts before, I wanted to inform the Forum about the latest eBay offering.
