There was a topic on this the other week www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=29702&f=13&h=0 I think the reason they stopped coulor coding them was the paint would not stay on although the paint has stayed on mine ok.

spoke to Kevin aka Gerbil @ factory who said nothing to do with pimply finish and that paint won't stay on - apparantly it's just that the blk bezzel ends up being a diff shade of the paint i.e. for mine, the bezzel will end up slightly greener - even though blue! p.s. was it yr profile re:chrome wheel nuts? Have you got 'em?

I suppose with lighter colours it may be more difficult or just take more time hence the reason they don't do it anymore.The coulor match on mine is ok though



As for the chrome wheel nuts had these fitted with the new wheels look nicer than the dull black ones

That's interesting Nick, you don't have drilled disks, does this mean I have RR brakes or is it something that the factory did as standard mid 2001 ?

where did you get your TVR inserts for the wheels ?

Thanks

Morning Lady Topaz

The wheel nuts were supplied by TMS www.tmstvr.co.uk/ £1.59 each + VAT they possibly get them from Leven Technology.

Simon

Drilled disk became standard fit late 2000/early 2001 and a mine is a June/July 2000 build I missed out on them.However I doubt that yours would be Red Rose disk, and would you want them at nearly three times the cost of the standard brake disc.All replacements are now drilled so I'll have to wait for mine to wear out before I get some of thoes

The TVR inserts for the wheels also came from TMS £5.34 + VAT each.
