Decided to get the T350C resprayed whilst it was back at the factory. Originally went for something dark (Red Bull blue) to avoid having to clean flies off it all the time but ended up with the stone-chip problem instead! Thought a lighter colour would show off the detailing of the lights and window profile better but it needed to match blue interior yet not be blue (again) and didn't really want silver. Not to everyone's taste I'm sure but looks better in the flesh! Personally, I love it and it is - different!

It's called Space Green. It's a Vauxhall (Corsa) colour believe it or not but looks a hell of a lot better when prepared, painted and laquered by TVR! I only had about 6 hours to choose something so it was a big risk but it came off.

Amazing the difference a colour makes - have to say though the blue looks butcher and less hairdresser - though both are lovely.

Excuse the numptiness, but do you just send a TVR back to the factory and choose a colour...?

Or is it a warranty job...?

Tuan

PS: looks BTW!

I know what you mean - in perfect lighting the RBB looks mean and great. But in anything less it can look a bit "dead" if you know what I mean. Dark blue and black don't work always.

Looks ice-cool to me, worth the risk
Picking up my T350 next week, hope my colours work! Went for slightly aquamarine Jag Antigua Blue as a variation on RBB as it looked great on my Cerbera. Interior colour-coding was a head-scratcher tho' as wanted it coordinated, & colour range is not as wide as I'd expected!

Thanks for all your positive and supportive comments. You know how it is, you're proud as Punch of your beautiful car but you don't want to appear like some flash git! I hoped you guys would "come with me" on this and you haven't let me down! Thanks again.

Bought mine from Tony at HHC (Hexham) and very good they have been to me as well (hope that helps with the part-ex price when it comes to the time to change!!)
