Um, very nice !!!!
When are you picking it up ?

I see you got the back of your seats colour coded.
I wanted that done and they said no as they would get scratched.
But that was about 2 years ago....................
Good old TVR !!!!

Cheers,
Nick

With luck friday afternoon.

They advised me to colour code the seats to help break up the black of the cabin and roof. As we are both short, its unlikely the seats will ever be fully back!

Very nice indeed. Looks like the PDI is quite thorough since they've unbolted various bits and bobs.

Did you get a stereo (speaker) upgrade in the end? any pics of the front speaker location if so?

Also, I see your glovebox closes evenly. Mine doesn't (I'll let the dealer break it while bending it straight).

Mine has the same problem. They will need to take the cover off the bracket and glue it on again.

Beautiful! How different is the sound of the RR compared with the standard Tamora?

Getting an aftermarket pioneer head fitted, with an ipod connection (to go below the head unit) and a CD changer.
Rear speakers are being upgraded and front is getting tiny tweeters.


We are also getting an originb2 fitted. Originally we were going to get that fitted just above the radio, but it seams a shame to ruin the grand design, so I have asked for it to be put below the radio. Might be a little hard to read, but I was gambling on the voice announcement being loud enough and the fact that a quick glance will allow me to see it.

Not heard it yet. Disappointed to report that the back tubes remain the samesize just the boxes on the way change. I wish it had a larger bore! Might treat myself to that later. You can buy it from TVR power.

Is the dealer doing that for you or an ICE company?

Got my B2 fitted below the radio in front of the lighter socket. It reads fine down there as its reasonable dark and the display on the B2 has good contrast (when it works ...)

The exhaust on my rr T350 sounds great!

Did you actually bother to fit the laser detector? The fact that we go to france a lot has kind of detered me and the fact that once it senses a laser, odds are you have just collected your points anyway!

I did. It sits right in front of the rear view mirror. Very discreet.

Castle actually fitted it all for me.
