Hi Peeps..Well i wanted a subtle difference in shades of grey on the interior so i bought some vinyl dye to see if i will like it in leather when trimmed..I think its a bit too blue though as i wanted slate grey like the door handles that i re-covered..
Ideally the inset of the dash, Gaiters and inset of the tunnel cover withe the contrast..I have since painted the door strip and it looks like the colour i wanted..


Also had a spare two TVR badges that a friend gave me so i had them chromed Gold..They are actually gold plated..They had to be nickel plated first and detailed...Too much?...


Gold chromed.

On the car.

It was actually cheaper to get two re-chromed than buy new ones...Ziga

As you did the wheel centres on Delilah in gold as I guess you like the gold look??

For me I prefer silver (for wheels and badges) but as ever if it is what you want then it is great.

...rather like this time last year, in fact, when it was promptly followed by a big freeze and four inches of snow.

Nowt wrong with gold badges! Keep the two tone subtle though - agree if it wasn't blue tinged it'd be nice. I'm not a fan of high contrast two tone interiors, KINDA LIKE CAPS LOCK! laugh

Mark, would you mind giving me the details of where you got your badges re chromed.

Im in the process of getting the Cerbera looking its best ready for the Leeds castle show on the 18th. Its going to a bodyshop to have any scratches / stonechips resprayed, then full paint correction detail, new wipers, and lastly new front and rear badges.

Cheers
Lee
