It seems that was. Darren posted on R32OC saying they've ceased trading.

Yet I can still order from them online.

Seems like they were ripping a lot of people off.

I've known Darren for a while and a few members on here know him well.
Its a shame he has provided some of the best service for G60's Rallyes its a shame.
When Rob left I had a hunch he was in trouble back then, but the grief about the undelivered items he will sort out.
He might have thought a deal could be made to save the company, but I'm guessing it was his call to keep taking orders until the very end.
Unless you have a business go down there is alot of sh!te invovled, but he is a family man, I don't think wanted to muck about with peoples money and not give it back. Thats my take on the few who never got there goods.
I'm confident if you contact him via facebook or email address he would make sure everyone got there money back personally.

Oh shamers.

Well that's a bit of a bugger, I'd seen posts relating to them getting a bit 'God like' an one rumour about then using a waiting customers rims on their car? If stuff like that genuinely happened then yeah, this was inevitable.

Just read the R32OC, 'times are hard' yet still rocking his car... Hmmm

I did have one dealing with g-werks a few years ago, i didn't find them that helpful to be honest.

Heard it was going this way a while back. Lots of bad reviews for customer service over the last year or so obviously doesnt help as well

The problem with alot of 'specialists'  is they think the general public are totally clueless about their cars.
This certainly isn't the case, i would say some enthusiasts know more than the traders...
Can't really comment about G-Werks, but alot of people in the trade are arrogant..

Ive had cars with receipts receipts from G werks. Seemed like a good service but after looking at the prices of some things and the market I saw this coming way back.

Hope he survives it. Never a nice thing

Yeah it's true G-werks has ceased trading.

Ben is in the process of sorting out a new workshop, once it's all set up I'll share all the details but if anyone wants his number p.m. me.

My Rallye is all safe, no worries!
