GTS Tuning bodywork - Quality
What is the quality/shape of GTS' fibreglass nosecone like (from actual experience of course)?
I really need a new nosecone.
(Fire damage and all that - I temporarily patched up the old one but now it's crap really.)
I like the look of the GTS ones on their website.
Can't see a colour match with my dark blue wings though so I'd get a yellow one if the quality is as good as it looks on the website. If
they were thin or misshapen I'd be disappointed.
Anyone?

Dunno about GTS, but you could look at Triton's GRP, at
http://www.tritonsportscars.co.uk/
Strange little operation, and the web site is even less helpful than it used to be, but their GRP is very good - I believe that it's what Jasper
used, and you can see that on his SVA "I've just passed" topic.
You can also see mine on
http://homepage.virgin.net/d.w.jenkins/
...tap on the steering wheel!
I've got a nose and set of wings from them - very solid, well-made and good finish.
Prices are par for the industry - maybe slightly cheaper.

Bought my nosecone and both sets of wings from Mark at Triton. Very pleased with the results. As Jason said, Mark is extremely helpful. Having
bought stuff from GTS, I would think the quality would be excellent, but as I haven't seen any........................

I have Triton bodywork, nice quality. BUT, the front wings are too bloody narrow for 195's, they must be taken from an old mould for skinny
tyres. My 195's do not fit under properly, you can't curve the metal bar underneath, I've had to put an S shape kink in it to lift
it above the tyre. It's JUST legal as it only just covers the tread.
So, sort it out chaps and make 'em wider, then send me a pair FOC so I can make a decent job of it!
Thanks the only moan though, it's lovely solid well coloured GRP.

We have responded to this criticism. See my website www.gtstuning.co.uk and you will see that the front cycle wings are offered in several widths, and
come with extra nice moulded areas for easier mounting to the upright.
Always willing to react to the customers requirements!
Kind regards.
