I am looking for a little advice. I have a 95 Griff 500 in need of a tidy up and maybe some upgrades. To start with, the car needs a full respray and a new dashboard (the existing veneer is split) It could also do with new carpets and repairs to the hood.

Secondly, I am considering some upgrades to brakes and engine and headlights.

Has anyone got any service providers they can recommend?

Cheers and Happy New Year

Ian at Sportmotive does a 7" SE headlight kit - ideal if you're having the front end resprayed.

Just had my Griff painted in all new livery by Chris of First Place. His made a superb job and doesn't cost the earth. He has years of experience and set up on his own after working for TVR Central. Really worth a call on 07870617014.

I used a place in Northwich called Martrim to replace the carpets and do the door scoops in contrasting alcantara on the Griff.



Did a superb job and it was about £350 from memory.

I think they have now moved to Sandbach ... here's the link.
