Mtt;
Is Volland trying to trick you into paying for negative-forms that he allready has? (This cant be right, and certainly would be bad business pracktice!).
When did he tell you that he has no negative forms for the E34?
I delivered my front doors to him in January last year, and then he made negative-forms from that, and Carbon-Kevlar doors for Tim, Dick and myself.
It took him 3 months to make the 6 doors for us, so he is not exactly quick..
But i think the quality of his product is quite good.
The prices he gave us, are 284,- for doors and trunk-lid, and 345,- for the hood (motorhaube).
This price is for 1 piece, and because he has no negative forms for E34, we must pay 284,- for each negative form.
And this price is for Carbon-Kevlar. GFK is -20%, and Honeycomp-Sandwich is +40%.
I sent an email to Volland today, and asked if he still has the negative-forms,
lets see what he will answer
