GRP Plugs glowplug line

Following ongoing requests, MRP has restarted production of the GRP glowplug line, creating a new brand name GRP Plugs. Glowplugs are a very important component for the proper function of the engine and to obtain the maximum possible performance. In most cases problems or breakages that happen on an engine are attributed to a defective or low quality glowplug. GRP’s high quality plugs help prevent these problems and are suitable for all types of engines and racing conditions, with their conical turbo plugs coming in 3 different heat types, C5, C6 & C7. Following the fire that destroyed their premises back in May their production is back up and running with a new line of 1:6 buggy and 1:5 Baja tire lines now available on their site.
