Will you remove the rubber bumper strips before painting ? Will give better results !

Looking good.

I'd be tempted to relocate the fuel filler into the boot, like the later cars...

Impressive, I am looking forward to getting to that point this year, if the blinking weather will get a little warmer, the heating in my carpod is not that good. Are you sticking with original colour? or are you tempted to experiment?

Will be fitting new bumper strips, can anyone tell me where to get them?
It's going to be BMW Avus blue

Don't know of a source ever being found? That's not to say someone like David Geralds haven't got them?


Nearest I ever found was this section from Phoenix Trim, close but no cigar!



The original is actually thicker on the one "sdewall" than the other

[davidh2905]

Anyone out there have any ideas on replacement bumpers? Someone must have replaced theirs..........

Unless they are split or torn you might find there’s still life in them and they can be made to look OK with a bit of elbow grease. Mine polished up nicely with T-Cut and car polish and look quite shiny. Just replace the metal strip on the inside.

Like Phillpots. Go on, show us how it's done

[davidh2905]

I like the style of the filler cap, will be modifying the front slightly though

I'm sure I read somewhere that the profile was supplied by a boat chandlery specialist. Any nautical peeps out there with any ideas?

Nice colour choice David.

Considering how much our TVRs love water, who would have thought of a ships chandlers for parts??
That looks like a good place to check out Peter.

[davidh2905]

Thank you so much, will let you know if they have a suitable replacement

[glenrobbo]

Well shiver me timbers, if I'm even only nearly right, me hearties, it will be the very first time ever. Ooh Arrrh.
