To anyone that could help...

Just got myself a blue 1:18 TVR Sagaris, and I would like to have it faithfully represent the real one I have in the gargae. This will mean changing the colour, doing some inside painting, and changing the alloys.

Does anyone know anyone who could actually do this, and would accept a commision to do it?

Many thanks...

I highly recommend you talk too 'Redfirecracker' above!

I asked him to get hold of an S2 Lotus Elise and change the colour etc to look like mine (Mica Blue S2 135R. Not only is it a perfect colour match (re-sprayed) he also repainted the interior as mine is a limited edition.

He also put my reg on it and the additional decals on the body work along with the limited addition plaque inside the passenger footwell.

At a very good price in my opinion too.

Thanks again RFcracker.

And no I don't know this person, I asked like you have done on this very forum page.

HTH

Edited to say: He also changed the standard wheels on the model to represent what I have on my motor.

You'd have to ask 'justnotsure'

I tend not to publicise clients models online (no particular reason, just don't think it's the done thing) without their express permission.

Actually RFC if you have pics then put them on here if you want, with the shots of my car for comparison.

I don't mind the reg being shown.

If you haven’t got any then I will put them up in a couple of weeks.

Cheers

As it's okay with justnotsure, here's some pics (I've only got this one available at work, I'll update for the final pic tonight when I get home).
