Hi. Now the Griff is 30 years old i want to replace the two veneered panels that are cracked. Basically what are steps and pitfalls to carry it out. All instructions and tips greatly appreciated. Dave.

Hi Dave

Just contact TVR Mads. They purchased most of the stock panels when the factory closed. Brand new panels in the colour of your choice for £300. Not worth the hassle of recovering your own. Just had mine done.

Hi. Update but need a little help. New panels built up but struggling to glue the threaded fixings. Tried 2 pack epoxy and tried jb weld but neither work. If you slightly flex the dash when fitting the switch panel comes away. Regards.

I did the dash on my wedge with a £10 roll of glossy sticky backed wood effect plastic wrap and no-one has ever noticed until I tell them!!

Cheers, looks great. Only swapped all the parts over onto new veneered panel. Does the adhesive need to be polyurethane and flexible like powermix.
