Richbrook

[ZC_74]

Was just wondering if anyone had any Richbrook products. What's the quality like.
I've looked at Speeding for their prices and have found a few bits and pieces on Ebay. Anywhere else?

Cheers

Yep, I've got quite alot of their products :)

Very nice goodies they are...

I've got door pins, aerials, gear lever gater surround and tyre valve anti theft caps - all are excellent quality and are very nicely finished off.

The anti theft tyre valves are the best I've ever seen, they look good and they work, unlike some of the cheaper types that use an allen key stub to lock up, these wreck the valve thread and can still be knocked off lol...

I purchased all the items I have from a couple of different speed shops in the U.K not exactly cheap stuff, but I reccomend it, we don't have anything similar here that I know of....

[ZC_74]

Nice. Yeah, their stuff looks good. They seem to do alot of 'official' stuff and I don't really want Vauxhall branded stuff when I have an Opel badge etc.

I want a handbrake lever and leather gaiter but without the Vauxhall branding. I'd be keen on their pins and caps as well.

[Wraith]

All the items I have are branded with their Richbrook name/logo....

I must say, their line of aerial replacements are fantastic - one of the best out there IMO !

I'll send you some pics :)

I like their aerials too but I'd be concerned of someone ripping it from my car

Dee and i just got a pair of door pins each for our cars and I think they're great... a lot cheaper than the alternative too.. irmscher is a little too pricey for my liking, richbrook seems to be fairly well priced for most of their stuff..

[bornwild]

I wouldn't mind a leather handbrake thing for my AH. Hmmm

[bornwild]

What are those door pins for?

edit: nevermind :D...I thought cars didn't come with them any longer :D

to hold the doors..when they open and close....

[ZC_74]

www.speeding.co.uk (http://www.speeding.co.uk) shows all their gear.

It's a flat 20 GBP delivery to Australia but maybe we could get a deal if anyone else was interested.

They are anti theft - but not as fool proof as their tyre valve cap design...

Just do what I did, ie: order an extra one, just in case you'll need a spare, I required 2, but ordered 4, to keep as spare and also to try out different colours, they look really good :)

[ZC_74]

Nearly done. I have been discussing an order now and hopefully today will be ordering.

I have gone for:

Handbrake lever
Black Leather Handbrake Gaiter
Black with silver stem Bee Sting anti-theft aerial
Silver door pins
Plain anti theft tyre caps

Can't wait

I may be interested in some door pins.

I got four a couple of years ago now, I still have it. Im pretty sure Cateo still has hers, and there were 2 others that went to someone and his mate in NSW
I think they still have theirs.

AFAIK no-one else has the same ones either, Ive never seen them and it makes spotting my car in a carpark EASY.

Guys

Check this webpage out.

Please look and let me know in the next day if you really do want anything. I really want to place an order for my car and don't want to keep putting it off.

Cheers

Yummie stuff, go for it :)

Got a couple of pics of one of my Richbrook aerials for you ZC_74

I'll have to take some close ups of the other bits n pieces for you, like the valve covers and door pins, they're a bit hard to see clearly in the normal shots

[ZC_74]

I've gone for that aerial but in black with a silver mast. I want to order the pins but I think they may look a little out of place when the Vectra has a completely black interior except for the 'platinum' or 'polished grey' trim pieces. Was thinking that it might be better to cancel them and paint my door pins to match the trim plates in the door.

[Wraith]

I think being door pins, they'll look good in a silver/chrome finish as they are only small items.

If you make them black, you won't notice them at all...

I too have a black aerial like the one pictured and a couple of the silver ones :)

[ZC_74]

Well I ordered this morning I did decide against the pins. I have decided to have a crack at making my 'factory' ones look better myself. Try and match them to the door trims in the Vectra. Will post photos with my result to get an opinion.

Will post a photo of the other stuff when installed.
