Plenty of swaps over on the S forum.

I personally like the mk2 TT with integrated indicators which would allow the ugly wing repeater to be removed.

Not noticed a mirror swap on a 'T-car' though.
Thanks. I think the mk2 TT in CF would look good as well.

Taken care of the wing repeater already, just not "live" yet than change, although a
few folks know what it was.

Then mk1 TT mirror if side indication is not required. Rounder shape to suit the TVR curves.

The mk1 would be used as a template, I would then modify it and the shape to handle the
indicators.

I did a bit more research tonight and came up with a few other options as well.

Mitsubishi FTO
Honda Jazz 2004
Ford Fiesta 2006-2008

Might buy one of each off eBay and see how they look...

The Citroen C4 one is worth a gander too.

Yes, not bad biggrin

Might get a few of them and compare them.

They will be made up from CF when done for real, so might remodel it slightly anyway.

Not really sure why the Sag ones are mounted on that 2 bar pedestal. Just been comparing
the Sag to the Tuscan mk1/mk2 at Bespoke and it looks so much better without the extra mount.

I have been reliably informed that it needed the extra mount to afford the correct rear visibility to satisfy legislation. Without the extension it just showed large amounts of rear wheel arch.

Interesting. Thanks, Dave.

I know of one Sagaris that cut the bar size down and didn't seem to have any visibility issues. Something to look at when I do the
work on this one I guess.

I wonder if they employed a Hobbit to sit in the car when they tested it... scratchchin

Test fitted the Porsche interior lighting unit today in a Sag and looks quite good. Will need to rework the existing front trim a bit and create a custom CF mount for it, but looks a hell of a lot better than the existing interior "light".

Alex, the single biggest improvement you could make, would of course, be.... a CUP HOLDER bouncespin

Mini-bar, ejector seat, laser cannon, rocket booster & cloaking device

Not necessarily in that orderwavey

Hi Warwick,

I'm already working with Hiran on some of those. biggrin

Can't say anymore as it is all hush, hush...

Cup-holder is pretty much irrelevant as I do not drink when I drive
Ditto for the mini-bar.

I am working on making the interior dimensional transidental, but that requires me to get
hold of technology that can only be supplied by some friends I have on TXC-10122, spacial coordinates,
223-2234/CX1, so will take a 100 years or so for them to deliver to me.

Cheers!

Hi Warwick,

All set, well nearly, just some suspension tweaks ;-))

Castle Combe, 22 Mar and Avon Rise followed by Quarry will sort most out, including anything in a cup holder.......driving

Here's a little idea that has just been done which I think nicely tidies up the underside of the dash.

Essentially, the dash under the steering wheel is a mess of wires, control boxes and other "gubbins"
(that's a technical term), that sometimes has a habit of dropping out or falling down, so I worked with
Brendan at CP and Dave (DTT) to implement this little cover idea which effectively "seals" it all in.

The result looks quite nice...













Nothing major, but a useful little item to stop control boxes falling out and tidy up the underside.

...And yes, I cannot drive the car at the moment because it is still in various bits as issues are sorted out...

It's always in bits Alex, idearandom suggestion for a PH forum but how about putting it together and actually using it.
I'm sure I remember the tag line "Speed Matters" from when I joined PH.biggrinbiggrin
