Ashtrays - Latest job....
Discussion
The previous owners of my car had scratched the plastic outer plate of the ashtrays quite badly...(I don't know how)
I have done a search on what car they came from to no avail....
But having taken them out, I am now looking into the possibility of replacing the plastic outer plate with a new annodised aluminium one....With the TVR logo engraved into it...
2 Things....
1. What car do the trays come from...?
2. Where can I get a TVR logo from..?
(one which an engraver could use)
I will look at the costs involved and keep you all updated.
I will make drawings and spec details if maybe Leven or LeeBee want to copy them...?

Interesting point - also.....
Bloody ridiculous things in the first place - every passenger tries to use them to open the door! I was also considering using the driver's one for an electric mirror control plate, should I ever get around to changing my 'bunny ears'
yep, never stops me from laughing… Bridgdav… not sure on that...
Dave, so not just me then, I have been thinking of how to make the ashtrays look better for some time! I asked the trimmer to take them out and trim over the hole and the Muppet forgot!!! I would just be interested in the Alunimium plates for them without engraving but I do know a company that could do it if you need it. I have just spoken to Russell of the Laser Company (08454502522) and he said they could laser engrave the TVR logo for between £5-7 if we could order 10 pairs!
This is the sort of Engraved TVR logo they do, its good quality!
Let me know if you can get the plates I would definitely be interested, preferably to cover the middle part of the ashtray or take them out all together and cover the hole!
This company have a license to do the TVR Logo so no worries from TVR!
Cheers

I was wondering how my Tax disc has the TVR logo on 'without permission'... 
Or do they have it from the factory..?
I've just started modelling the form on CAD so I can get some quotes done....
Dave
Dont know how the permission works, but they openly advertise the TVR logo so it must be OK!
What are you looking to do, a face plate for the ashtrays or a cover for the hole?

A Faceplate for the trays...(easier)
The outer cover comes off very easily, they have a plastic rivet like feature to hold them on, a quick file and they are off.
New ones can be glued os D/Sided on...
