Give them a call. TBH Doldy does not know anything. He claimed they were making corsa b roof panels already and when i spoke to them they were not making them and had no mould to make one.

Tbh mate making bespoke carbon fibre parts isn't a quick process. Especialy something the size and complexity of a bumper. And understandably you'd wanted deposits paid first, considering the potential cost of making the bumpers/moulds and then having people change there minds.

Well do it then.
TBH as you have spent months asking how much the deposit is, my perception is that you are a bit of a dreamer but I hope I am wrong?
Not being rude, thats just how I view you at present time. You express an interest in everything but seem to commit to nothing.

UPDATE!
some images for you, which say a 1000 words...
Sorry for not keeping people updated more regularly with these, as mentioned above they have been a real *!?#! to get this far. We're definately a couple of thousand pounds down at this point in time for the workshop time, I want to see these on cars at the end of the day so have kept with it. I like a challenge and it'll help make bumpers easier in the future.
I'm not going to take any more deposits until the existing batch has been delivered. After this, the price of a bumper is likely to be around the £500 mark.
I'm going to assume that everyone who's ordered so far want the finish to be bare glossy carbon, but will make slightly cheaper versions for those who plan to paint anyway - it makes them easier to make.
As you can see, the first part out the moulds didn't pull out properly and there were issues with the vacuum bagging. We think we've got a better way to manufacture them now, so part number 2 should be worthy of sending out for sale.
Please note, our bumpers / wings / door trims are all much easier for us and turn-around times are under 2 weeks. 
Let me know what you think! Cheers, Mike.

Let us see good pictures of the parts on a demo car or something... I'm so tempted...
Is there any thoughts on a badboy bonnet?
Damn... my car can be the demo car... send the parts over to Portugal and I'll "test" them.

Good to see the progress you have made, shame about the 1st 1 but at least its a start!! sure the next will come out spot on!! Cant wait to get it on the car, all i need is the bumper now to have the car ready to go!!
Not sure if you know but when we emailed previously I asked for the number plate bit to be cut out for my intercooler, this still happening?!
