Title: Anyone bought from demon tweeks/sparco? Update
Post by: tweed on 07 February 2012, 18:26
As title?

Im waiting on some gloves and boots. It's been 3 and a half weeks and still nothing. I phoned today to chase the order up and they said "sparco have taken longer than expected to release their 2012 range, and you will have to wait another two weeks, sorry about that"  :angry:

Anyone else having same sort of problem? Is it bit of bull?

My advise is don't get any new 2012 motorsport wear from sparco  :laugh:

I got my helmet and gloves from them. I also bought another pair of gloves, kit bag and rainsuit from them for my father and apart from the helmet which had to be ordered in and took 2 weeks, the rest was at my house within 2 days. From my experience they're fast and great customer service. The only downside is the high prices.

That's good then so maybe sparco are holding on to their 2012 range for some reason. My gloves are alpinestar and they're in stock.

I got gloves with holes in and old puma racing trainers. But I won't be aloud to race with them. It's p!ssed me off as there's a meeting on this weekend and I can't go!

I ordered a set of AP coilovers from demon tweeks about three weeks ago and they were at my door in less than 24 hours so i reckon it must be just the sparco gear that is delayed.

I've only ever used demon tweeks twice and will never buy from them again,first was my isotta steering wheel which they advertised in grey then sent me a white one,then made me pay to send it back,THEN told me it was discontinued in grey so I ended up with a different steering wheel in black! AND ordered a isotta billet boss at the same time which guess what I was then told was discontinued! so rang isotta in Italy and they said it was available so ordered it direct from them and it was still cheaper than demon tweeks and I got it alot faster,second time I used them was for some gauge adapters and they sent me the wrong ones! so not had the best time with them  :grin:

To be fair the kit bag I ordered came wrong, and we didn't notice until it was over in Brazil. As an apology they offered my a huge discount on the helmet and visor, over £100 off.

What homologation? You know you can't race in MSA races unless it's of a certain spec.

Update!  :angry:


Phoned them again to chase the order and was told I would have to wait till aprill!  :angry:

I said that's not good enough I have a race meeting on the 3rd of march so I will be cancelling.

But I now have red suede sparco boots and white/red alpinestar gloves, with £20 back in my bank. Should be here Tuesday.

Sparco must be in trouble! :huh:
