It's the button for the electric roof release actuators that I've had fitted.

Would be good to know if this could be retro fitted to a Tuscan? cost?

Speakers are Edge ED204
4way 120w 4".... Bargain at £21.99 a pair, got mine off the net. Company called AutoGear247

I should have posted a pic of your carbon pedal box cover .... It looks great against the black.

This is actually retro fitted to a Tuscan. I had this done during other works, I'm guessing £400/500 should cover it.

Thanks Darren, was the retro fit done by Plasticman or Dave the Trimmer? Car looks fantastic, I'm due to visit Dave the Trimmer for a look around and hopefully book mine in when I get it back from rebuild.

Mine was actually installed by Surface & Design, the actuators I purchased of the web, if your handy it'll cost very little, just man hours really.
The actual components were less than £50.00

Looks absolutely awesome Darren! Good choice on the seats as that diagonal stitching and limiting the orange touches on the interior tones it down just enough so it's all very cohesive. Despite my own car, I do love TVRs with darker interiors as they feel a bit more premium and certainly more cosy inside.
Did you go for any soundproofing in the end?

Stupid question moment, why didn't you hide the electric roof switch up front/under the dash, and is there one switch per side? Are there motors in the boot?

I had often thought there must be a better solution to the current setup, more so in terms of sealing ability etc, but having the roof electrically locked would certainly be a great step forwards!

Thank you Dave.
The reason for the switches being on the side pods is pressure still needs to be applied to the roof as the locks engage, therefore you need to reach the switch whilst applying pressure.
For the very same reason a switch is required each side, initially they were installed on the roll bar cover, Dave suggested lowering them and tucking them alongside the seat to take them out of eye shot.
I have had some sound proofing in the rear area to help with the droning from the exhaust etc.
