The paint around my front headlights is flaking off its only a small amount but can only get worse.Does anyone else have this?

Is anyone going to get the diffuser and spoiler base painted car colour I'm not yet sure if it's worth it ?

It's amazing the difference when you get the gap between the driver's window and roof seal fixed

paint is ok but all the black rubber mastic has peeled off, which I replaced myself. Not a fan of painted diffuser (in my colour anyway) but it does look quite good in the brighter ones eg yellow.
Funny how we all take window seals for granted, it omly takes a 0.5mm gap to make such noise as I'm sure you've now realised! Do you still have the small triangular-shaped hole at the base of the A-pillar?

The A piller hole is still there. Mole Valley recon TVR will release a fix for it "at some point". But the window hole was just by my ear and I got used to it untill I had do do some longer motorway runs with the window closed.

that's interesting. I've temporarily plugged mine with some self-adhesive rubber (house) window draught strip, got it from www.screwfix.com works well, cant see it and hasnt fallen off yet!

My car's being serviced today and I've asked them to look at the paint around the off-side side indicator as there's a couple of cracks appeared.
I've also asked them to look at the paint around the near-side front foglight/indicator as it appears dull and rough.
They're also looking at the wind noise at the near-side window. Off-side (important one!) is no problem.
Cheers..... Andrew
