I dont usually like alcantara but that is lovely. What car is it?
Hey Jen biggrin

Check out the thread about JohnMc's cerb rebuild and have a look at the style used on that one. It really is good looking
and looks the same sort as that one above.

I'm sure John can send you some pics of what it looks like close up. It looks really good!

Been following this thread for a while so hope you don't mind a bit of a Tuscan interloper but i'm looking for a few thoughts on options. I'm getting the carpets replaced soon and thinking of making a couple of tweaks to the door cards and gearstick area.

Here's the current scheme:


I think unless I changed the blue leather, then sticking with the same colour scheme is best so i've sourced the carpet in the original blue, but am thinking of either:

A) getting the door inserts quilted, maybe changing the blue to be grey
B) Putting some quilted insert by the gearstick similar to this:



Anyone done anything similar in any blue colour? I really like the black quilted doors on page1, but just not 100% sure on whether this style would suit blue?

does anyone know why I would not be able to get a Tuscan interior into a Sagaris?

Which kind of interior? The wavy one, the 'normal' one (etc).

It was sort of done with the "Taragis" by Dave (the Trimmer), so guess it is possible.

Top Dash would be the main problem - it's all part of the body mould isn't it ??
Other issues would be door cards maybe, and overall interior width of the car - Tuscan 'looks' wider

Not exactly what you were after, but John (Trim Technician) did post something on his Facebook page last night that might give you an idea. He is currently working on a Tuscan, though a mk1 by the looks of it.

Dropped mine off with Dave this morning for a complete overhaul.

Its going from this:




To something completely different which Dave and I dont think we have seen done in another TVR yet! It's going to be a long wait!

Picking up my T350 tomorrow morning from Dave, to say excited is an understatement, did you get a peek?

Will do, wont be any of me I am afraid as just had dental implant surgery this morning and currently have front teeth missing. Long story, feeling rather sorry for myself. Excitement of tomorrow kept me sane whilst sitting in " the chair " for 2 hours. cry to bounce in 24 hours.

Oh yes, I wont spoil anything for anyone but the the interior compliments the exterior beautifully. The colour scheme you have gone for is far more upmarket than the original colour you posted and the whole package looks extremely classy.

I must say, the exterior colour is great on your car.

Look forward to seeing some pics of it in daylight as Dave had it tucked up and could only show me in the workshop, I'd be amazed if you are nothing but delighted.

Thank you, wish i could get up there this afternoon but getting train up first thing in the morning from Chippenham to London then up to Milton Keynes.

As you are aware when you have a blank canvass it is quite hard to envisage what you want and whether it works so to speak. Very, very excited, feel like I am fourteen again and getting a new skateboard for christmas.

Now got to move sons gym equipment from garage as he soon took over the empty space.

Well, got back from Milton Keynes.

I am so chuffed, looks and smells amazing. Like a new car.

Love the alcantara steering wheel feels awesome and the purple stitching works a treat. Photos attached, very bright so not brilliant but wanted to get some on.

bow Dave The Trimmer bow What a great bloke, amazing skill and pleasure to deal with too.
