If you do manage to contact RPS please let me know as I have been trying to order an RPS bonnet and a pair of side scoops. Their website gives out a bit of a mixed message at present with one note saying they arent selling parts and the other saying they have a range of parts available still to sell.

It is a real pity RPS have fallen by the wayside as they are a most innovative company. I bought their MGB front and rear bumper/ valances which are a brilliant thing- far lighter than the ghastly rubber bumpers, much more stylish with a proper front grille without it trying to look like something it isnt.

If RPS can't help you, try Anglia Composites, who made the moulds and made the panels. They will know who currently has the rights to make and distribute these panels :)

While we're on the subject of RPS ...does anyone know what happened regarding the hardtop they were developing? I've tried to contact them a couple of times over the last 6 months with no success!

It looked good didn't it? Not sure is the answer - I don't recall seeing it on their stand at Silverstone either. Again, Chris at Anglia Composites will have an inside line on information about this: it may be waiting for a new owner of the rights to these moulds to take over and productionise them?

RPS came back to me directly yesterday about the availability of bonnet scoops to fit into a standard bonnet. They are currently available for £ 61.95 shipped. They sent an order form which needs to be completed

I have e mailed RPS twice now with no reply. I keep finding front spoilers from different places,mick satur and a few others on Google but can't order any. Does anyone know where you can purchase front spoilers for the mgf ?.
There is a couple on e bay but don't really like them.

Which style are you looking to purchase Stew?

Mike Satur responds best to a telephone call. I suspect that RPS may be the same :)

Good news that RPS are still responding to queries, but I think they're winding down (unless they've found a buyer for the whole business?)

No update on their website since August, but it sounds like they're selling off old stock: https://www.rps-ltd.info/

Hi Rob
Sorry for late reply been for a stay in hospital. I've e mailed RPS but no reply. Seems to be most web sites I go on don't supply the ones I like. Even Mike satur don't seem to do the front spoilers. I keep looking but no joy as yet.
Thanks for your help though Rob
Regards

Try Anglia composites in that case Stew - they're still very much in business and may be able to help if it is the RPS style body kit that you are looking for...
