Cracked windscreen.

[ClassiChimi]

As above, from the top and to the left and then on down towards the rear view mirror
I've been meaning to replace it anyway so I'll give Central Tvr a call first thing !

[QBee]

Covered on your insurance? Have you checked with them if they will pay to have it done by Central?

[ClassiChimi]

Yes mate, ages ago but just never booked the car in! It's pitted to bits anyway.

was it a track day at RAF Marham? RAF runways are supposed to be FOD free , they are always full of small stones!!!

Yes, it was. Because they use a gritty surface to slow the planes down on landing, the runways are horribly gritty places, and the planes and support vehicles spread the grit around the other areas. The whole of the front of my car is covered in tiny stone chips from the flying grit, as is my windscreen. And last time there my radiator was holed by the stones. £400 for a recore, fitted. Not amused. They promised me it had been thoroughly swept this time. I believe the RAF technical term for this answer is "round objects".

slack at Marham. The runway should be pristine clean, git and dirt can seriously damage a jet engine.

Central fitted a new screen for me last year, highly recommended, they did a top job

[ClassiChimi]

Booked in at Central Tvr for next Tuesday.
Adrian has some screens in stock.
I just have to avoid the charms of flailed in headlights or new carpets when I'm there.
Tuscan seats,,stuff like that.,

Don't go in

[ClassiChimi]

That's the best advice I've had in ages,,, I was thinking of hanging around all day but that will cost a fortune so I'm dropping the car and disappearing ASAP.

Go for a walk - Central TVR aren't that far from the Shropste Hills, and beyond that the Land of Rain and Sheep.....

[ClassiChimi]

Nah, I've shagged enough dogs I don't really wanna start on sheep.
I'd rather leave the car over night just to let it cure.

I'll allow myself the luxury of new rubbers and ask Adrian to re glue the front of my hard top where the fabrics coming away.
I also have some nasty marks and scratches in the paint so I'll ask him the best way forward regards those but as quick as you re finish some plonker will rub or knock something off it.

I've never once polished the car since Adrain painted it, I use a car shampoo that's high in wax and shammi it off and just leave it,, it's very shiny when washed. I may well polish it up as I'd like Adrian to enjoy seeing it again. It's a nice paint job and has held up well against the elements, 4 years this August since the re spray,, time flies along!

Essential repairs, I would say.....

[ClassiChimi]

Collected my car from Adrian at Central Tvr today,, new screen is fab and he even re glued my hood where it had come loose.

I had a gander at the cars in the garage,, they really do a fantastic job on the interiors of these cars,, stitching etc,

Top boys and girls.
