I would but due to the sporadic and infrequent updates I won't. Once these are available as "click to buy" I will hand over my money on the spot, there and then.  The delays and lack of consistent comms mean I can't.

 

I have no doubt that the final product is not only going to look superb, but it will be well made and robust and reliable.

 

I placed my faith and money in a GARW dash as one of the early adopters, so it can be done successfully and the comms to me once I had committed were good.

I'm really interested in a set and not too bothered about the history (I know others will be).

 

Just think it would not be too hard to set aside 10 minutes every week just to provide an update on progress etc. I know everyone is very busy, but you could even do it from your phone when on the shitter, that way it would not interfere with anything else.

 

I think just regular updates would keep people happy and I actually think you'd sell a lot of these through regular updates. My money is waiting when you have a set to send out (carbon finish).  All the best.

Time flies and I apologise for not updating sooner.

 

Production is reaching somewhat of a steady state, however I've got various sets of headlights in different stages of assembly that need updating to the final design before completing. This takes longer than if they were untouched parts. 

 

In progress I have:

 

one set of CF UK headlights with LED main - need new rear covers and revised mounting (one complete, one in progress)

one set of CF EU headlights with halogen main - need rear enclosure (being made in parallel with above

one set of black headlights with halogen main - as above

 

This should mean three sets out in July

Hi Tom, thanks for the update. Could you write a list of deposit holders and the state of their order with which type they ordered please? That way we can see who's first in line to have theirs finished. For example:

Andy: Black carbon with LED main beam (£680 paid)
