Picked up my Griff this afternoon, what an excellent bunch of fellas and what a top job done! Brilliant!!

Suspect the bodywork/panel fit are better than when it was new........and if any of you have any body/paint etc that needs doing, dont hesitate to give em a shot.

They attacked, re-sprayed, headlamp converted, bonnet strutted my Chim last year , they did an absolutely fantastic job, second to none, the finish was perfect the spectraflair superb, D&C trim next door did the full leather re-trim too while it was there, together they worked brilliantly and produced a fantastic finished car.

Saw that today - looks fantastic ( have to say I pinched your interior colour scheme ! ). Also like the Lupo light conversion - really freshens up the front end.

Glad you like it and feel inspired to replicate lol. I love the blue they used on my interior. Take it you were in Blackpool then.

Yep - they're doing my interior. I'm going for a slightly darker blue and as it's an S, the panels are different but it was reaaly useful to see yours there to see what it would look like. Car's a credit to you - very nice thumbup

+1 it looks great, love the colour , the interior and the two tone seats. Hmmm got me thinking now.
One of the special things about TVR's is you think you have seen every colour and trim combination and then something surprises you.

Noted you have a different interior in your griff with piping like on the wedge and the s series. Thought on similar lines too for my griff WHEN I get to D&C . I would love to see different interior pics of your car, if you would allow - please

Will try sort tomoz...the previous owner to myself (I bought car 6/7 years back)had the interior re-covered along with different (TVR) seats to bring the car more in line with its era! They are more comfortable than the original seats.......or seem to be.

Thanks Car Mat, I still haven't figured out how to post multiple pics, and I don't want to hijack this thread with my stuff, you could email me and I could send some pics or check the lupo light thread, that has a few on it .
