[nick beef]

Hi Nick
I had the same problem, I have read that some dealers have covered this under warranty although mine did give me the old "they all do that" but to be fair my dealer did end up painting on a sealant for me (which I provided) FOC. Bit of a messy job plus you need to take the wheels off.

Nick, that colour combo is excellent! I'm not usually enamoured (sp?) to Tamoras, but yours looks the business. Which type of black is that, and do you have any more pics?

Same problem on my 10mth old Tamora. Spoke to a local dealer (not the one I bought the car from) and they're fixing it under warranty along with the paintwork probs from door/boot mis-alignment.

While your getting your new free underseal put on, ask them to waxoil it at the same time, for the inconvenience of course..

peeling underseal seems to be very common at the mo..definately a warranty issue.

Do TVRs have underseal?

I have just discovered the same with my T350c!! it is happening on both rear wheel arches.
Having been in the fibreglass game since 1968, i have seen this problem a lot, the problem stems from when the body of the car is 'trimmed' of all the rough edges,if the car is fresh out of the mold, it is full of static electricity.
so during the trimming the dust is attracted to the car,the dust should first be 'blown' off and then wiped over with CLEAN Acetone to enable any further fibreglassing to take place, or for any paint to stick.
I shall be asking for this to be rectified on my next visit to the dealer.(sorry if i have bored the pants off you all!! but if there is one thing i know about, it is fibreglassing)

Hi glenn, no they don't know about it yet! because it is going in for about a week for a rear end re-spray due to the petrol filler cap coming off and taking paint with it, so i will tell them then, plus one or two other nig's to sort out.
