Servicing question and styling enhancements
Discussion
Sorry for the Noob questions here. I am very fortunate in living very close to the Noble factory, I live in Leamington Spa. Is it possible to get the cars serviced there and how do the prices compare to a sepcialist? After looking at Tivvers and their servicing costs, it seems 99% of them are the same hourly rate and length of time. Is this the case with Noble too?
I also wondered about a few things like the rear lights and the front indicators on the GTO-3. What donor car was used for those parts? The rear light cluster looks slightly awkward to me, and i think if it was possible to have clear front indicator lenses and orange led bulbs it would look so much nicer from the front too. And are genuine interior mats available, or any company that makes them?

Welcome Adam - in the past it was always possible to get the factory to service; havn't heard anything has changed, so just give them a ring! Costs should be the same as Noble franchised dealers. Rear lights are from Mondeo and there are several after-market options available - after-burners from Marcos (which look the best IMO but are quite expensive (around £600 mark inc fitting) or there is a good variant from NobleMods. Side indicators can be changed to clear with no problem - many outlets inc Noblemods do these. Yes there are genuine interior mats from Noble or something less expensive (but just as good) from Noblemods (and no, I don't work for said company!)

checked out Noblemods, some very nice stuff on there. I don't actually own said car (yet 
) but looking at that site has made me more determined to find one! thanks for the help. Has anyone ever had a "tour" of the factory? I will have to give them a phone tomorrow and ask.

I will have to give them a phone tomorrow and ask.I havn't had a "tour" of the factory, but have been there, and im pretty sure a tour would involve standing in one spot while someone points out which bits are built where and would last approximatly 2 minutes. Although it would probably end with the reception where you can get an oh so lovely cup of tea and browse round the "gift shop" (a coat rack with a few items of Noble merch. on IIRC).
QUALITY! Sounds intersting! I went for a job at Cosworth Engineering before. That was interesting, if small. I am intersted in the Noble too as i work for Ford Motor Co in Leamington so can get discount on parts, although not sure how much i could get off a 3L block Thanks for all the help
Thanks for all the helpGassing Station | Noble | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
