Back to black

[FUBAR]

Reading the Group Buy Short Induction thread the seed of jealousy started to grow in the pit of my stomach. And its a horrible feeling.

To combat this I Tim @ ACT and told him I wanted to replace my, now 4 year old and starting to discolour, yellow hoses. This decision had nothing to do with the fact my car is going on show at the local village fete this weekend and I wanted to be able to lift the bonnet without embarrassment

So 9am this morning Tim met me at his office with the intention of selling me some new hoses. Little did he know that not only would I blag a cup of coffee out of him, my powers of pursuasion and big puppy dog eyes would be enough to get him to fit them for me too

So, thanks Tim, you're a star

So, Ive now gone from these (but browning)...



to these...





And one of the maestro in action

Not a very nice thing to say about Tim

[FarmyardPants]

Now all you need is some black/anthracite wheels (IMO)

[FUBAR]

Been thinking about that Rog.

Just had the wheels on the Audi referb'd and got them to paint them black, so thought of going to the Darkside with the Cerb

Someone post a piccy please.

When TVR weren't using the local B&Q as their main supplier of fuel rails, they did a rather nice square black one with the AJP logo embossed into it.

Quite the thing if you choose to expose your rail with those pipes.

Looks much better the copper pipe and jubilee clip effort.

Cant say Ive ever seen those ones Julian.

They're Whirlwinds.

Where do I get me one of them fancy fuel rails then?

[QuiteQuietCerb]

[FUBAR]

Glad Im not alone Kostas

[spitfire4v8]

You could still get new fuel rails last year, so try your local TVR parts suppliers
