The layout looks bang on, much easier to find what your after now. One thing I will say though that caught my eye straight away was how compressed and tight the font is in the 'contact us' section.

yeah , thanks for letting us know, good to see more of your products on show.  :happy2:
I would agree with snapey but extend it to the whole site, not a good font for me visually (on my work machine at least).

Yes, I agree too - The font used for the main body copy in parts of the site is too condensed and also the typography isn't helping.

I'm with you at VWR on Thursday so can give you some specific suggestions then.

But overall, the structure is a big improvement and allows more effective navigation.

Some of the product images are too small but it's all just a matter of fine tuning, so keep this fella away from it!! : -

Looks good - new layout is much clearer.
I'd make your address details in plain text (not an image), so it can be found easily by search engines.

As others have said - go for something a bit more legible for the typeface.
The narrow one is just that bit too crowded.

Oh - and will you guys ship to Australia?
I've emailed a couple of times, but I think they've been black-holed :)
Although now I understand the VWR race commitments come first, so I understand why my queries were a bit of a pain in the arse!  :happy2:

Any idea when the wheels will be available?

I'll stop kicking tyres now.

....Good point! But do both (as we do on BIALI site).

Hi there,

On this page, http://www.volkswagenracing.co.uk/Golf%205%20Pages/Golf%20Packs%20Stage%202%20Chassis.html

If you click on "Volkswagen Racing Front Spoiler" there is a bad link.

Regards,

Mark.

p.s. But looks great and much easier to navigate and understand the tuning stages than before!

Echoing what other have said, not a fan of the font used and there are a few black white spaces  :scared:

Navigation is ok but I cant seem to get back to the home page without using my browser when clicking 'Volkswagen Racing Cup'

Looks good Mark!  Good to have all the details up there now!

One quick question, your new intake looks a lot like the BMC carbon intakes, are they similar or do you have any pics installed?

Give me a call back please mate! ;)
