Passed with flying colours yet again, well kind of!
New pads and discs all round and that was it.
Only thing its needed in 4 years smile

Now time to tidy the old girl up a bit, give her some TLC that she has been missing since we got the Lotus.

On the list of things to do...

1. New dash, buttons and stalks
2. New hood
3. New seats, either a re-trim or fancy some Elise or MX5 ones
4. New seals for windscreen/windows etc

Has anyone any idea of costs for the above?

Thanks smile

Hi there, I can help with the hood as I had mine done only a few months ago. Got the complete hood kit (including the targa cover) from DC Trim in Blackpool (they are essentially all the trim guys from the old TVR factory), lovely quality and fit for £295 delivered. Had a local trimmer fit it and that cost me £150, so about £450 all in. Hope that is helpful? With regards to the dash, there is a nice new walnut dash on eBay for £100 at the moment. All the best, Pete

Thanks for that.
Def something to think about.
Was hoping for something a bit more modern than walnut but will have a look smile
