Thank you all for the very nice comments. I'm pleased with the way it's turned out and have been enjoying it a lot in the sun these last few days.

Who did your boot badge Chris? is it the same as a std Tamora or was it modded to fit your new shape rear?

Chris - random question but where did you get the sticky number plate from and how easy was it to fit around the curves? I don't want to drill holes in the nose of mine if I can help it but at the same time am very conscious of the fact I could end up with a very rippled piece of plastic on front if I opt for stick on...

Shep, boot badge made by Heko UK, found them on ebay and they custom made it for me with my choice of script and the 'Spider' clear so I could airbrush it Cham Green to match the car. It's the standard size for a Tamora, 350 and Sagris at least I'm sure and sticks on to the normal metal plinth.

Zippee, The stick on nuberplate also came from ebay. It's a bit of a nightmare to fit. I got it on cleanly using a heatgun to massage it around the bends, but it has since crinkled a bit. The reflective backing is harder to work with than plain white. Doing it again I'd probably get a sign writing specialist to apply it, or go for a smaller size. The one I have is full legal size.

You are correct - the code is SF6, and the name is spectraflare black. The base colour looks grey (see other postings of mine), but when the light hits it... Ooooof!

Personally I think the SF colours work well with he Sag due to the styling, with all the cuts. With a smoother Tam shame, I haven't seen enough to make my mind up.

If you want to see the Sag informal light, I'd be happy to meet up with you...
Thread resurrection time - I would value the PH forums thoughts on this point which Don makes well - does a darker Spectraflair work on a more smoothed body such as that on the Tuscan (my own car) or a T350? The colour looks stunning on Don's sag, but as highlighted, it does have a measurably more aggressive styling to it.

I love the look of the spectraflair black. It can look insane but quite tame in different lights. I think it would look good on any tvr.
