New user just saying 'Hi' - paul151 - 14 Dec 2013
I have just joined up on here and want to say hi. My brother is a Delorean owner (Phil Emsley). I think he's well known on here.
My occupation is an aircraft fitter and I have an interest in cars, classics and otherwise. I am currently restoring a car as a project (Opel Manta Coupe, nothing special but I've owned it about 8 years). I have recently started manufacturing parts for my project and I am starting to make a few bits and pieces in conjunction with my brother for Deloreans. So hopefully over the coming weeks and months there will be some parts of mine for sale on here.
I have a few parts already produced ready to sell and others in planning/prototype stages. Stainless steel items include:
Decat pipes (2 already made & fitted, more to follow)
Rear facia brackets
Throttle spool covers
Louvre reinforcers
Headlight gap fillers
Any suggestions & ideas for custom parts are welcome.

The stainless front rock screens were quite popular; all vendors are now sold out of them and Chris N says he isn't making any more.

Hi Paul, and welcome.
Defo interested in louvre reinforcers...
Other things I would be interested in are...
Stainless Rock Guards ( As Starglider Mentioned )
Stainless Coil Cover ( Available from DMC Europe but way overpriced )
Stainless rear window finisher ( Also available from DMC Europe but overpriced )
(I would be happy to send my original to you try to replicate it providing it is returned in the same condition )
If you need part numbers and pictures to relate to these items then let me know!

I have a spare one of these if you're interested, was originally going to use it but changed the engine bay layout.

Hey buddy... What was you looking for it?
Re: New user just saying 'Hi' - Starglider - 16 Dec 2013
It's in a crate in the Netherlands at the moment, I'll PM you once I've retrieved it.

Hi Paul, welcome on board, and well done on getting the ball rolling on these products!
A lot of reporduction stuff feels that it has to have 'DMC' plastered all over it - I see you have resisted the temptation with the throttle covers which is a great credit! Nice work!

Hi Paul, welcome to the Club
Your brother's car is a stunner - and I'm looking forward to seeing his LC when he's finished it too

Already in pre-production in the UK, though if I have been informed correctly DMCH is frowning upon this good work

That's awesome news Chris! I had no idea. Why on earth would ANYONE frown upon those bits in stainless?! It's very clear that would have been the idea back when they were built, but I suspect was too much cost and time, especially for the rear bumper with the tight curves around the lights!
