Guys,

Just had some cosmetic repair work done by Central TVR http://www.tvrpowersbodyshop.com in Stourbridge, and what an absolutely first rate and stunning job! Quality of work, attitude, helpfulness, knowledge and skill set are truly exceptional. I’ve been lucky enough to receive some great service over the years from many well known mechanical specialist including Dom at Power, Str8 Six and Racing Green, but when it comes to cosmetic/repair work I will never look anywhere else but Central TVR.

Adrian is a real pleasure to deal with, always reachable to answer any questions and goes above and beyond to ensure every little detail is addressed. I think the best way to explain this, is they quite simply love their work and treat your pride and joy as though it was a personal project to themselves.

Big big kudos to all the guys who worked on my car. The icing on the cake, when collecting the car, Adrian had taken it upon himself to remove my somewhat battered and loose seat backs, only to repair and colour code paint them to match the outside of the car. Thanks Adrian, and I cannot recommend you guys enough to all TVR enthusiasts.

Combine this with yet another great Service from Dom at Power, and the car is simply a dream to own again smile

Hmmm, they do interiors too. Looks like I know were I'm taking the Tuscan then, and my drivers seat backing is knackered lol....

I agree. Adrian is a great guy. He's been around TVR's a long, long time having previously owned the biggest TVR dealership in Britain back in the day. The bodyshop is spotless which matters (a lot) and I can highly reccommend their work as they repainted my nose cone, splitters and rear diffuser. Difficult colour, but the match was perfect.

I ran my Cerbera into them today and I can only echo what's been said Adrian and Andy are Top chaps indeed. They will be doing my twin headlamp upgrade and fitting anthracite carbon fibre wrapped/heater dash panel. Along with that they are also fitting my custom bonnet vents (a bit TVR Sagaris meets Aston DBS in style). Really can't wait as the front end was ruined by stones so this is gonna look fantastic. After reading what you guys have said I'm even more enthused!

All this to add to my Decatted EPROM map update and standard 4.litre rebuild Dom did which is push close to 380BHP!

Thanks for the review, I am going to get the Tam painted later this year and will defiantly give Central a call...

Another thumbs up for Adrian and team here myself.

They just had a couple of seats re-trimmed for me, and the finish is first rate, and the price excellent.

Took slightly longer than planned, but I wasnt in a hurry.

Totally agree with the above.
The guys did a great job on my V8S engine bay as below.

They are also about to paint to concours condition a trailer to go at the back of a VW Split Screen bus we have.

clap to Adrian and the team.

Agreed. + their courtesy car isn't bad either! (if you have a no-fault insurance claim)

Yep Adrian/Andy & the team are top blokes, nothing was too much trouble and quality of work is excellent. A few bits and bobs to go back for and make good at the end of the summer but could not recommend them highly enough. A couple of pics of their recent work for me on my Tamora..

I chose D&C Trim for a full interior re-trim and Surface&Design for a full body respray. Nothing beats going back home thumbup.

I collect my Tamora on the 30th July, so will be posting pictures on PH.

Lets call it £10k then - do those prices include VAT?

How much for a basic colour and a more simple car like a Chimaera ..does that include a new roof.

Why is that top cost so expensive ?

If you are a TVR club member you can get a 5% discount on your Paint Shield. I would not bother with the kit for the rear diffuser & bonnet scoop don't think its needed just stick with the nose cone and the sill kits. They also did me some little winglets for the leading edge of the rear wings down to the diffuser. Ask Ann they should have the templet from doing mine last month.
