LOL, ah ha, just had a peek at your profile and the troubles with your Tuscan, can't really blame you for feeling like that towards the S6, I would!

But, you could try the ickle 3.6 version one day, and you destiny will be complete

Superb

Of course the TVR incognoscenti will see S6.... ponder.... decide it means SEX and then think.... Wanker!

[targarama]

I like the plate ... I guess people will see the ooomph bit at least. Let's see if you get any jeers/cheers from the girls/lads.

I think there may be space for another TVR logo on the rear plate if you try a bit harder

Hopefully pick mine up later this week - bodyshop has been fitting a new fuel filler nozzle assembly after the last one lost it's chrome finish. Also resealing one rear light unit too.

[chris watton]

You know, I never thought for a second S6 would be construed as SEX!! , but I knew it would be only TVR officianados who would 'get it', I do have the S600 MPH plates in my boot, just in case! lol
Trfor, that nozzel surround on the T350 sounds like a right nightmare! Is it due to the petrol eating away at the chrome and mastik?

I like the camera. Do you think it can stand the heat?

"resealing one rear light unit too."
Had mine resealed a couple of times now and still not cured condensation problem. I think its just a really bad design with no cure. Im toying with the idea of piercing a small hole through the reversing light lens from the back and leaving the bulb out. the idea being to give the condensation an escape route

Definitely, the camera is quite a way from the sports exhausts, because they're individual exhausts and angled away from the middle of the rear,(I know this because I had to remove the heatsheild when fixing the camera bracket in place to the underside of the boot) plus the heatsheild covers the exhausts. I checked the temp of the heatsheild yesterday, after a 120 mile drive, and it was just warm in that area

(PS, have sent you an email Maddog )

Not the petrol this time - it was the actual 'ball' that covers the filler hole that turns out of sight - it lost it's chrome coating between car washing sessions (i.e. it was there, then it was worn off).

My surround has never come loose, they fitted small screws to prevent this on the later cars.

I've had the LHS one done before - worked a treat, no more condensation. The passenger one was fine, it's got a few gappettes now, hopefully it will be OK now too. It doesn't look like that tricky a job to reseal these if you're handy with the gunky stuff. My dealer sends the car to the bodyshop for this as last time removing the LH one took some paint off too. The bodyshop have always done an A1 job on paint though.

Jet washing directly at the covers seems to seriously reduce the life of the seal - I never do this, but have seen the washing lad at the dealer and the bodyshop chap do it Oh well, their loss.
