This is the person you need to contact.
Turns out he ended up creating a very nice GP wing. I believe he has a family connection with a fiberglass molding company located somewhere in the orient.

He took order deposits and delivered on a set quantity. Didn't appear to have plans to make another run.

Guerrilla Marketing...

Yeah, gotta love that. You'd think I extract blood to allow people to market and sell stuff. All I had asked was that when he was ready to sell these things that he made a contribution to the site, guess that was to much to ask.

 

Well..... That's pretty slimy of him.:mad5:

Glad I still have all my money tucked away in that Nigerian bank. I'm sitting pretty.

 

yo nathan! I guess this is a miscommunication, i'm down to contribute! how much is it to become a vendor again? I'm sorry if it makes u feel uncomfortable! Let me know more details! We've been working on Porsche and BMW lately, any new idea for the MINIs?

 

Hi there! I'm glad you ask! So 5 months ago, I saw a post about GP spoiler on NAM. Originally it was posted in 2006. Everyone was talking about how GP spoiler can possibly be mounted to a regular MINI. All kinds of answers were flying around but none of them seem to be practical. Therefore, me, my buddies we redesign a GP style spoiler to prove that there's an answer for it. Our intention was not to make money of out of it obviously if you look at our pricing. We only make 25 of them that's why we weren't planning to be a vendor for long term. This I have to apologize to Nathan! He actually saved me from NAM. But since he mentioned about it, we will for sure contribute to the website. We do most of the stuff for Porsche and BMW if you are interested. We also take designs and ideas and manufacture them in high quality material!

 

thanks a lot Versus!

 

yore website hurts my head

 

I don't want to tell you how to run your web site, but most MINI suppliers have a legal disclaimer stating that they are not affiliated with MINI.

MINI / BMW has been known to aggressively protect their LOGO and name with visits made by their legal department.

Oh, and by the way your wing looks Fabulous. Hope you are successful.

 

lol hows that?

 

thanks metalman! will take that logo off soon thank you!

 

if you're asking me.....forcing people to scroll on every page to see content/menus is bad web etiquette. With a standard portrait view 8.5x11, its two pages long in print view. that translates to about three pages vertically on a normal landscape view monitor.

I scroll for news articles because there's content and that's how we read (i.e. newspapers). I shouldn't have to scroll for a website with one product listed for sale.

 

lol thanks for the advice, i guess once all the products are up it's probably gonna make you more dizzy surfing that website. i apologize for the bad website design. There's no computer engineer in our team though, a website like that done by people who don't know about computer science, i think it's pretty nice already. at least we didn't waste any money on that

 

Just food for thought:

PGT is right, your site is hard to get around on.

From the pictures, I had a hard time seeing what the wing really looked liked.

You said at the start that it was only for looks and did not really function.

In your first post there were 20 wings being made and now here seem to be 25.

To be honest, I am not all that certain that you really have any wings for sale.

This is just the feeling I get and nothing personal, but for me I see red flags going up all over the place.

If you do have a good product, then I wish you the very best, but marketing is everything and you are a bit short there.

Can't tell from looking at the FUbrication web site.
Does the rear wing fit all MINI years or only certain models?

 

Marketing and the aesthetic appeal of a brand is never a "waste". It's one of the most important aspects of an online company, when your site is often the first, and strongest impression for the customers.

With that said, very nice wing. I look forward to what you have in store for the MINI community

 

Can't wait to pick up my wing :cornut: Thanks Terry for being a sponsor on MA :beer

 

Wow that's a nice welcome.....not. :frown5: Almost makes me feel like I'm on a "different" Mini forum.

 

Just to offer a cross mix of opinion for Terry. I forget the exact # but a webiste has a initial view of mere seconds and if viewer is not drawn in they move on

Lot's of brilliant folks come out with a product with no clue of marketing and they end up sleeping in their mom's basement and out of business

I too found your website very difficult and asked myself "WTF" a couple times and pretty much dismissed your co
