This started as a mad idea in a thread I posted on here some months back.

I'd taken a picture of the door card and used the Paint programme on the computer to change the tweed to yellow and this is what it looked like .....





Then gorvid came along with this



Well I went and got it done with a coach-trimmer and this is how it turned out









So, reactions please now the deed is done .....

What a top job, look the biz - really individual.
Not just a yellow Cerb, now it's a yellow Cerb and some.

I wasn't too sure how the embossed TVR logo was going to come out on the doors and on the shelf.

I was afraid it'd look "boy-racer"ish but in reality it's turned out quiet well.

And it's way better than the tweed .....

I got it done over here by a one-man operation called Acorn Interiors.

If anyone is interested I can get his contact details (his number is in my work phone which I've left in the office while I'm on holidays).

He doesn't strip the cars so I had to take the door inners and the shelf and helmet-hole out and drop them to him.

It cost €350.00 (thats euro) for the foams and labour.

The material used was always going to be extra and I wnt for a good-quality leather as, if I want to do more of it in the future, I wanted a leather that would be an exact match next time and that cost me as much as the labour.

A cheaper material would have reduced the cost significantly but, in my opinion anyhow, it wouldn't have turned out near as well.
