What would be a ball park figure to get the hardtop retrimmed? I don't need to, but there is a scuffed patch where it rubs up against the spare wheel when stored in the boot.

Am I mad to be tentatively considering changing the colour of the soft top and roof to match the paint!? Again, how much might that cost. Have a look in my profile.

Comments welcome . . .

Like your garage digger and the car also. I would keep the hood and targa black.

It's not the spare wheel that scuffs IMOP. It's the frame for the fuel tank filler. Stick some sponge on here and preferably also always insert top in the bag. I have the same small scuff spot on mine.

Portzi I think you are correct about the colour. Profile pic was taken during handover at Fernhurst's

EGB It is the spare wheel causing the scuff!

I've see a few metallic red TVRs with red fabric roofs as well as the usual black. Both look fantastic when the fabric is new, but the red seems to look tired much quicker that black. Once the red fades they look shabby and for that reason, I'd stick with black...

Lovely Griffith BTW thumbup
