You know the saying... give some one enough rope and they'll hang themselves with it what is this life, if full of care?

I don't think it's a good idea Ronp..
He's been very busy preparing bumpers for r4ff, so can't be here at the same moment.
Let's better leave him alone and maybe he'll be able to deliver it before Xmass!

Gone through the bank to get my money back as no tracking information was forthcoming... got an email from Raul sounding very upset, but claiming he's sent the payment back... funnily enough it's not registered at all in my account.
Will give it one or two days in case the bank is being slow but I trust this man as far as I could throw my disco... I would not recommend the TRC bumpers to any one... steer clear of Raul Bermudez Curiel as he is only interested in your money.
Any one know any where in the UK to get a bumper made under a grand? what is this life, if full of care?

Unbelievable... I would say, if I weren't at the same place one day
How can one saying about sending tracking no if nothing is produced

He's still trying to claim the money has been sent back, despite a call with my bank just now where they told me categorically that the money has not been returned... I'll try get him to swift payment the money back instead... but it looks like he's gonna try swindle me out of a bumper AND £850!!what is this life, if full of care?

The title of this topic should definitely be changed to something like "TRC bumpers - Raul Bermudez Curiel - A WARNING" - otherwise some others may not be warned on time Wrapped Satin Yellow&Black; Lovells 2" Gas Legend Kit, OME hard springs.

Experience with Raul was a pain in the a... as well
Finally two sets of bumpers arrived - but paint job was in poor condition!
I got them sandblasted and coated them myself
Winching with it is not the problem - fixing points and stability were more of a topic
Still would not want to do without them though esp with the back bumper with spare tire holder
Peter (discoveryparts.de) is working on an own one (aluminum and steel versions) -so better stick with those!

Well that is a result, not the one that you were initially after, but good nevertheless.
I always thought that Germans were a very precise & committed race.
Doesn't seem to be the case though nowadays.
Had a similar issue with a bike part I ordered in from Germany a few months back!
I had to chase & chase and heard nothing, then had to start proceedings with PayPal before I got any acknowledgement & then my money back.
Also got a German supplier of mine who used to be most dependable a good few years back, now they're pathetic in fulfilling my business and even downright lie to me re delays & shortages.
Maybe it's the Germans who should leave the Common Market!...... always on the road less travelled 🚧

Well ronp
just to get a few things straight...
Raul is a Spanisch name and so is Raul - and whats that thing about race?
...don`t get me wrong but did you even read the diffrent posts??
in general - generalizing is never a good argument!

Sebastian, it was "tongue in cheek"' not meant as a serious comment.
Part of our British humour.

There are alternatives.
Have a Kaymar rear bumper with spare wheel gate.
Fitted a 100l extra tank under the car where the wheel used to be.
In the front I have an ARB winch bumper. Modified with ARB D2 bullbar.
No delivery problems.
Look at the pictures.

The ARB bumper does look good but it's a bit too expensive here in the UK and other bumpers give better approach angles. Will keep an eye on the discovery-parts Aluminium bumper and see how that pans out first. I'm also liking the look of the Kaymar rear bumper they sell but it's over £1000 without the wheel carrier! o_owhat is this life, if full of care?
