I just tried to call gpr. They are having trading difficulties apparently. Does this mean the credit crunch has bitten, or am i jumping to conclusions?

Not that I've got anything much against them, I think that's part of the problem. Why not call Rally Design or Merlin Motorsports or Raceparts or , or, or...

Hope no one here has got an outstanding order with them -- the likelihood of getting it now seems slim. Get onto your credit card company and either block the transaction or start the refund process.

They have now gone I am afraid. I suggest Raceparts or Demons instead now.

There is still GPR in France.... they seperated last year when Minshaw(Deemon Tweeks) brought a majority share.

Sell all the same stuff, shame about the £ though.

You cant buy anything off the website though, administrators say they have gone gone.

Yes they are trading again..... Mr Hines indeed.

No stock as nobody wants to supply them, all the guys there who knew what they were doing have moved on.

Grand Prix Racewear is recognised as the Harrods of motorsport
I may be repeating myself, but we don't want a Harrods, selling overpriced sh!te to people with more money than sense, some (in fact, probably most) of us might actually spend a little more money, a little more regularly, if we didn't feel we were being ripped off for 'motorsport' products.
