    Has anyone bought items directly from Newton Commercial:

    http://www.newtoncomm.co.uk/home/

    I'm looking to buy some new door cards, sliding door and tailgate panels from them & wondered first hand what the quality & fit of the product was like
     
  2. It's funny you should mention this now. I bought the lot from Newton Commercial and have started fitting them today with a mate of mine who's a pro-trimmer. He says they're top notch quality, which is exactly what I thought when I saw them at VanFest last year. I'd highly recommend them. Cheers.
     
  3. Just plain cards or trimmed ones?

    I can get plain cards made by my carpenter who sublets our warehouse. I've sent a set up to Delilah to trim so when they come back I'll let you know how they fit if you can wait...I can say that Delilah is awesome as trimming them from the teaser photos I've seen so far.

    I only have a carpet set and it's lasted well even if it doesn't look the best quality. I can't fault them.

  13. Well, after sitting in the loft for a year, I've fitted mine, with the help of a pro, which is just as well because it would've taken me 2 or 3 days to do it right all by myself. Then again, I'm just rubbish at this sort of thing. Yes, they look very nice. But some of the hook attachments were too big for the factory holes, so I had to get the drill out. And other hooks weren't of the best quality so we got hold of some better ones. The covered panels though are of very good quality. But like all things they take a bit of time to fit, with some frustration, scratching heads, improvisation and all of that involved along the way. They don't come with instructions. Well, I couldn't find any. Not that I would've paid any attention anyway. But buying them off the shelf, ready made, is an instant fix and cheaper too of course. I bought mine at VanFest last year and got quite a good show discount. One thing that did help a little is that bloke who runs the Brazilian Bay forum (Grrrrrr) has put up a few vids on You Tube of how to fit Newton doorcards to a Bay. Doorcards only mind. You have to work the rest out for yourself. Fair play, though, it was quite helpful. But I still hate Brazilian Bays.

    If I knew how to take pictures I'd show you them. Well, I know how to take pictures on my phone, I just don't know how to put them up here. How to get from the phone to the computer screen is beyond me. Why can't someone invent something, allowing you to just point your phone at the computer screen, et voila, they appear like magic. Now that's a good idea..............
     
  14. Oh, they're black and beautiful by the way. Just what I wanted.

    cool, cheers dude!!
     
  16. We brought and fitted complete carpet set and front door cards, excellant fit and quality!!! had them refurbish our front seats buddy seat and rnr again can not fault them. Excellant customer service and value they went the extra mile to accommadate our timescale ( met us at the factory in the evening to hand stuff over to us)
    All made in uk, by craftspeople not machines ( the missus now works for them been there 3 months).
     
  17. Bought a pair of Captains seats, door cards and carpet set via Rackhams who gave 10% discount. Seats took a while to find the optimum position but everything good quality.
