There is nothing wrong with being self indulgent.... a fine car you have there.

If you can't be self indulgent mate, what's the point of it all???
Have fun and take as many people along with you as you can!

...The seats were starting to show wear, so I had them stripped and refinished in Jaguar magnolia leather with green pipeing a few years ago.
I had them done by Aldridge trimming in Wolverhampton and they did a fantasic job, although it was far from cheap!!

...I know what you mean about nothing being cheap. But as my dad says 'there no such thing as a free lunch'

Those seats look incredible. If you don't mind me asking, roughly how much is 'far from cheap' ?

....The seats were the wrong side of £500.00 plus vat. However, they have lasted perfectly well and not worn at all. However, I have lost the 'TVR' in the head rest though.

Well thats a good job, had mine done my D&C trim but yours look even better, the rest of the car is with Aldridge at the moment for a retrim in full hide. I didnt like that awful plastic ambla trim.

Hiltonig.....You should have no problems with the work Aldridge trimming do to your TVR. I have been very pleased with the work they have done on mine.

I am glad the comments on my car have been positive, I am starting to feel like changing it for a Tuscan this year though.
