I've not had an issue with mine wearing. Are you putting enough coats on. I've put several on, and several of the finishing coat.

Str8six did it. Built to standard spec, still a 4.2 as I couldn't afford to mess around with it due to the chassis getting done at the same time. Credit card simply couldn't stretch any further.

Pics of the splitter.



Splitter looks good in an understated way, almost OEM.

Your indicators looks strange though scratchchin

Took the Cerb for an MOT, passed with no advisories:-)

Also booked the car in to Windrush Paint Works in Witney for a full respray so will be without it for October.

A hint of originality and the people who really know the AJP also know the MBE products.

It will be mapped by John Ravenscroft I understand.

Or if not Jules at Kits and Classics.

I will let you know how it works out but judging from what I have seen of there work so for it is very very good.

The owner and main guy there actually sprayed my old 400SE some 20 years ago and that was faultless. He used to work at Ewelm Coach Works who were the TVR approved repairers in the southern part of the country back then and Simon has set up on his own years ago.

He had 3 TVR's in at various stages of being painted when I went to see him last and I have also seen plenty of his work all faultless so decided to save myself the trip to Blackpool.

Dropped the car off at the sprayers, won't see it for a few weeks but it should be back for a weekend in November when I head to Linconshire for a weekend staying in the old Officers Mess of 617Sqn that is now a hotel.

Well it wouldn't be right turning up in a Merc would it!

Make sure that your reservation is in the original part of the hotel. It's not quite the same in the newer extension although the public rooms are obviously still very evocative.

Dove mine down to Pembroke on Friday night, came back Saturday night. There's no super unleaded there at any fuel station nearby. The nearest was the Esso at St Clears!
