We would like to inform you of changes in the distribution system for our Japanese-made automotive parts in the European and UK markets. From now on, Torque GT will be responsible for orders from the UK and various European regions, while Okutan’102 will handle orders from France and other European areas. As a result, the distribution system previously managed under the Spoonsports Europe brand by Taikyu will now transition to being represented by these two companies.
Orders that have already been placed with Taikyu, including long-term backordered items, will continue to be processed by Taikyu. If you have any inquiries regarding orders with Taikyu, please contact them directly. Should you encounter difficulties in reaching Taikyu, please feel free to contact the Spoon Headquarters.
For any other general inquiries, please reach out to the respective distributor in your country or contact Spoon Headquarters directly.
Additionally, the website (spoonsports.eu) is still being operated by Taikyu, but the website is scheduled to be temporarily closed soon. For future new orders, please place them through the two companies mentioned above, TorqueGTand Okutan’102. Please do not place new orders through Taikyu.
