Hi all, just wanted to post a positive experience with Octoclassic for plastic replacement parts - not cheap, but quality is good and fit/finish excellent. I had a few niggles with a couple of original parts that were relatively minor cosmetic plastic items, the passenger seat buckle was broken and just looked ugly, the driver's seat hinge panel had been repaired by PO (glued, badly) and despite attacking it with some epoxy, it was never going to be quite right. Then there was the little square "vent" panel on the dash that had a switch for something aftermarket that I removed... The color match is pretty good, texture is close enough. My interior is warm charcoal (LEG). Be aware that in the US at least, there was a duty (10%) - darn them tariffs, which needs to be paid before delivery. Company appears to be UK based with Poland as the manufacturing hub. Some pics for reference for anyone wondering if they are legit. Turnaround was pretty quick and items were very well packaged.

Replaced item - will clean up the red/orange part later. Nice easy snap fit.

Side by side - new items on corresponding white packing slips

Underneath the panels to show correct mounting points etc.

 

Off on a slight tangent here but l am curious, a 10% tariff also applies to my front mount kits (which will be adsorbed by me) but the information l have been given is that tariffs are required to be paid before dispatch. This is the reason for many post systems suspending US services while platforms are established. Were your parts in transit when de minimus exemptions ended on August 29?

 

Nice to see these parts are being manufactured again even if it's not by Jaguar.

 

I've had some parts from them, and quality and colour-match are fabulous.

 

Ditto. I purchased a shift gate from them and am very happy with the quality. Fit was perfect and color right on.

 

Hi, I ordered my parts on August 28th so may have been just inside the deadline. Parts were shipped Sept 10th and arrived on the 12th - tariffs were paid via DHL. Hope that helps.

 

I ordered the seat-belt slider kit they sell and I'm very pleased with the quality. Yes, I did also have to pay a customs charge.
