Hi John, I just noticed I am down for a set of centres when you already sent me a set a couple of weeks ago. They arrived a day after I paid which was amazing and they look really good. Thanks for sorting them so quickly but I don't need another set...

No.. I only get these when I go to China so I can inspect the quality first.... TBH they as always fine now so I guess they have the nack of doing them.... So will let you know when I have them and sort it out from there....
Becasue these are done around cost price I do like to sell all the set's when back ASAP so I can recover my funds smile

Cheers.. John

Not a problem for me if you are willing to pay the postage... We've just had some go to Canada and they arrived fine... TBH it might be better to post them from China (may be not)....
I think the cost will be about £30??.. Let me know smile... I have a mate in Chch but he's into Harleys and Mini's.... you'd have to go show him your car... I'm sure he really needs a TVR smile

No problem on postage. As you say, may be cheaper from china just let me know how much and how to pay you. Happy to show the car to your mate in Chch - that's where I am- but you'll have to find another one for him, i won't be parting with it wink

Hi Gordon... Yes, I get these when I go to China for my normal work visits.. and all 4 sets are spoken for at the moment... I'm not sure when / if I'll be going again but please keep your eye on this post as I will put up here if i get chance for some more... This all started off as a bit of a faviour for people as I'm doing them close to cost (you do need a £10 either way so your not caught out with the exchange rate)... but may be I should look at importing a bigger batch as demand does appear to be quite good. That said they would cost more so less attractive....
I'll also let you know if anyone drops out and we have a set spare... I take it you know Gavin?...

Cheers.. John

As you probably remember John, I had a set from your first batch and they were just so good that I could not understand why the take up then was so slow. Word has obviously got out now. Keep up the great work!!!

Hi Gavin. I have seen your car around but not met you yet. I would be really interested in seeing the wheel centres when you have them finished. Please let me know who you use to paint them. Gordon 0274963506

Well all done and on the car.

The centres look great - and when I dropped in on TVR North America yesterday they were impressed by the look, as the originals (no surprise) simply looked like plastic.

Here is one close up...



I decided not to go with polished aluminium - instead going painted. I flipped through about two hundred colour choices from all makes and models. I wanted a slight bit more metal flake, and a slight bit more brightness to the colour. In the end I narrowed it down to two choices. Of all the makes and models around the world, they narrowed down to one Land Rover, and one Jaguar colour (didn't know until after picking!).

Decided the Land Rover colour worked best.
