Hi Chaps,
Just got the T350T back from Matt Smith, as I wanted to sort out a few niggles. I can definitely recommend him. Having just bought the car and with two mates recently buying Cerbera's my irrational side was keen to spend some money on it, upgrades. Matt has kept my feet on the ground and the advice provided has been invaluable, saving me lots of pennies A genuine bloke, who is an enthusiast and has the owners best interests at the heart of his work.
The car was away for a few days: Silicon Hoses, Throttle Tightened (Transformed Ride), JP Sports Exhaust (Already Decatted - Jesus It's Hardcore!), Oil Heater Pad, Doors Aligned, Tappets.. Every niggle has gone and some I didn't even know I had Matt has a perfect setup, as Chris Brown (Bodyshop) is also in the same industrial park, so I took the opportunity to get a few areas touched up and the diffuser resprayed (lots of chips). Great job Chris! Chris also advised on how to clean up areas of the car I didn't think needed cleaning (and i'm a bit of a perfectionist).
The whole experience has been very reassuring and for someone that has just bought a TVR, with little mechanical knowledge, I have peace of mind.
It was time to leave... I started her up, oh my god! (Videos to come, hopefully tomorrow), the sound of the exhaust, made me cackle (insert lots of swear words).
Oh My God! Lol...i also managed to drive home in the rain, without driving into a ditch! Can it get any better :P

Glad to hear of another happy customer. As you probably know I've been using Mat for the last 5-6 years and his quality of work is fantastic.
And yes, JP & De-Cats are awesome. Wait till you fire her up in a car park or petrol station, the bark from the exhaust has made many a bystander jump out their skin
