Well after 4 weeks away at Surface and Design it's nearly home......

Wanted a front end re spray to get it all up together and needed a little attention on the rear with some tiny micro blisters.

Decided that if I was paying all that money surely would make more sense to change completely !

These are the results

Hey guys

Thanks for all your kind words as it was a little drastic decision on the change of colour.

I went with Arancio Borealis but Surface and Design call it TVR Arancio

Cost wise £3207.00 for labour and £1240 for paint and materials..... Oh and then plus V.A.T

In the flesh now it's home it is really impressive. In low light it is a really bright orange with a hint of sparkle but when the sun so much as shines the paint really changes and looks completely different.

I'm so glad I had it done and it was well worth the journey so to speak. I live down in Hampshire and kind of was not looking forward to sticking loads of miles and time in getting it to them. Jason from Str8six jumped in and said as he goes up and down to them at least once a week that I could drop it off to him and he would sort the rest.

Snapped his arm off at that point and thought after it was done I would get Jason to de cat it and sort ride night and Geo.

In all of a mile the Geo is back to how i wanted it. Before it wanted to kill me after a slight ride height adjustment to make room for the Toyo R1R tyres.

The de cat on the other hand I'm not sure what to say....... Just on my drive with the car warm in the most mild of prods sounds like really loud thunder and it was no shrinking violet before with a JP back box on.

So it's Sunday now and we are in for a day of heavy rain so no driving today. Roll on some sunshine eh

I saw an orange t350 in Heerlen a couple of weeks back when I was working in Holland. It looked great in the sunshine.

I love my decats but I find I either have to drive at just under 70 or just under 80mph when crusing as the drone off the exhaust at 3K gets on my tits after about 50 miles. I suspect it will be even worse for the T350 as there is nothing between the exhaust and the cabin, at least in the Tam I have a boot between me and the worst!. However, prodding the welly pedal giving it beans to make the old girl howl or lifting off so it sounds like artillery fire is a different matter entirely.

Love the colour, If I didn't like flip paint so much orange would be next on the list.

Managed a whole hour late Sunday and the car feels amazing.

Roll on Goodwood on the 4th and Beaulieu pride and joy on the 5th May. Looks like we might even get some sunshine!

Hey guys

We'll I'm out of Goodwood now as it has clashed with something else..... However I'm signed up for Beaulieu on the Monday 5th

No paint protection film is going near my car after all the stories I have heard from people. Would rather pay for front end every few years.

Hope to see some of you on Monday.

Mark
