SM discs in the future will be stocked. We are negotiating at the moment but as everything it takes time.
This is due to clearly group buys (that we make no money on) being too much agro.
As we will be holding stock, the parts will not be at cost but still a massive saving on OEM parts.
What we don't want is the trade buying them and fitting them at huge profit. People have also made it clear that they are happy to pay a small monthly subscription. This goes against why we started this Forum...it's free to use and support members. The thinking is we may make this option to pay to be a premium member where you will then be able to purchase our parts and receive other benefits...access to private forums, more storage, priority booking on events and the like.
We are also in R&D stages with front QP and GT upper and lower polybush kits.
The long term goal is to stock improved durability parts at half the OEM cost for 3200 through to GT.

I'm not sure that we could get enough 'premium' members to make this financially viable for bulk purchases. Could I suggest an alternative model? Premium members get stuff at cost and other members pay a premium at point of sale.
This should increase turnover enough to make it viable to have parts made up at a low enough price. At the same time 'premiums' (from both sources) could be set at levels to raise the required finance in total. It would also add flexibility and take some of the guesswork out of setting the 'subscription premium' level as the 'non subscription premium' could be quickly varied.

In fact does any accountant own a Maserati? How do they justify the cost? It would go against their financial principles surely...
Whilst I'm not an accountant, my father is. He's very proud of my man-maths and agrees that they definitely stack up.

Hahaha! We once bought a car as the coloured seat inserts exactly matched Mrs allandwfs Handbag she had with her!But the main justification for keeping it is that she likes the colour

06-10-2017.Another update, the motor factors have agreed to pay the money back...when that will be we don't know but MAF is going to refund those out of his own pocket in the short term.
I accept these are nothing but words at the moment but progress is being made and we are working hard behind the scenes.
I have sold my Maser, so if someone wants to take my place for a full set, or if I can get a refund when/if that comes in, then great.
Cheers
