Hi guys

I don't want to rain on your parade but the MK11 rear on your new MDA is a direct copy taken from my MK11 rear clip that I personally made from scratch for the Goodwood Festival of speed 3 years ago. I was commissioned directly by Ford to produce this rear clip, I converted two GTD cars supplied by MDA plus one other from Simon Kelly.

I told Mark Sibley of MDA that I was prepared to sell to him at trade prices MK11 rear clips from my moulds that were authorised by Ford.

Unfortunately MDA has copied my work without my permission, I have written to Mark Sibley of MDA about this and offered him a licence to copy my work,
I am waiting his agreement to accept his responsibility to me and his customers over this issue.

I hope this can be resolved amicably.

regards

Chris Melia.
