Please can someone confirm or correct?
Dear all,
please, I need you help ! I am not sure I wrote the following sentences correctly:
"As already mentioned in the mail below, we would have needed a confirmation with a good advance of time to be able to work this project out"
In this sentence I doubt the expression: "with a good advance of time" does it work? if not, please give an alternative.
"Maison + Objet 2012 is too much close to be able to get other customers and build your stand."
Here I doubt the expression "too much close".
"We should have had talked about the project in time, now it is too late"
In this last sentence I fear I did not write correctly the type of tense.
Thank you in advance for your help!

- if not, please give an alternative.
- I'd use "well in advance" or "much earlier".
- It may also be appropriate to write how much time is needed.

Dear Vorpar,
thank you so much.
It is all very clear, just one thing:
"We should have had talked" is wrong?
Thanks

Yes, that sentence is wrong. The helping verb "have" is used twice. "Have had" is only used when "had" isn't a helping verb; it's being used as its other definitions (to own, to hold, etc.)
