Hi all

Hoping this thread finds you all well, I would appreciate your opinion and thoughts on the following, as I feel this will look great on the new cradle tank I will be fitting next week, pics to follow.

The S cradle tank finishing plinth has been made from High grade Brushed 304 stainless steel, it is 1.5mm in thickness and the bend has been created by utilising a Hydralic CNC press.

The TVR S etching, has been created by a 2kw laser and can accommodate for either V6 or V8 models respectfully.

I have had one of these made up for my car, I am really pleased with the finished product and considering getting a batch made up, therefore I would appreciate your feedback, so I can gauge wether there is sufficient interest to move forward.

Cheers

Nige

Yes, it does look very good. Price will be interesting, to see if 'she' has been good enough to deserve it.

If mine wasn't already a stainless one (albeit no writing) I'd be interested.


Do you have ready access to the laser or is that bit farmed out? Would it be possible to get the "TVR" logo cut into something else scratchchin
