had it 6 days & its nearly killed me already

[GALLARDOGUY]

coming home tonight, doing 65/70 the front end fell off! the whole lower 'egg crate grille' & front splitter broke away & nearly sent me off the road.

i'm livid!

i guess i'm needing a new lower grille, tuscan s front splitter & i suppose a splitter brace aswell to try & avoid it happening again.

being a TVR novice where can i get the best deals on these items?

who would be knowledgable enough to fit then correctly in or around essex?

any help would be much appreciated.

thanks

Racing Green parts have some Tuscan panels, both for Mk1s and Mk2s.

Seems a bit strange parts of the front end just falling off. I'd like to know what the previous owner had been up to.

Was it your car that the owner had taken the splitters off because they caught a kerb or was it someone else.???

Sounds as though the support frame for the front splitter was not fitted. I have heard of a few that have just come apart the way you describe without the frame fitted.

As for the parts you could try Fibreon

I got a new pepper grill last year from TVR Power.

Try Greg at Newlunn. They are Power's bodywork people. Your profile does not say where you live so I don't know if it's sensible.

Wow. Scary.

I probably don't need to tell you but... check the tyres and underside too, could've been damaged by bits of debris.

Cheers,
