[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Our web-shop is due for its first oil-change. As such, tomorrow morning, on Thursday the 5th of June, we will switch over into maintenance mode for roughly one hour. This means for a short while nothing will work, so make your orders before or after 🙂 Fuel hose in poor quality. Watch out! Much worse is the fact that we received low-quality goods in a recent...

I’ve been putting off writing this for a number of days, because I am just as disappointed by this outcome as the edelschmiede customers, who would have loved to be able to install these springs in their larger Opels.
