I have just experienced probably the best example of exemplary customer service from a company called Ewelme coachworks, based near Nettlebed in Bucks (01491 825294). The problem was with the paint cracking on the bonnet of my Griffith. Initial diagnosis was poor repair work by another body shop some three years ago following a fender bender. Having stripped back the paint they dicovered the problem was related to the original factory quality of fibreglass and primer. The car is five years old and yet Paul and John at Ewelme have remedied the problem and resprayed the bonnet (and sorted out a few minor imperfections elsewhere) all at there expense!! What great guys - thankyou!! To all owners of fibreglass bodied sports cars - there is no finer place to take your pride and joy.

What about the two-light jobs that retain the headlight covers?

TVR Bodyshop do a conversion for the Griff that replaces the single light each side with a piggyback style unit, that retains the original headlight cover, and is removeable if you want to return the Griff to original appearance.

And very nice it is too, but I'm thinking about our Griff, cos the wind blows the candles out! (well they are almost as bright as the dipped beams.

They did some nice work on my Griff after a little car park altercation in France (unfortunately I was there so couldn't catch the tr who did it).
