Folks can you tell me if there is a stainless steel cover plate going over the lock mechanism on your cars? Noticed the passenger door had play in it when closed and on inspection discovered that the lock was missing a screw and the other two screws were lose, then on looking at the drivers side noticed that both sides had a cutout shape where on the tuscan it had SS cover plates. Has someone had my plates away at some stage or do the Cerbs not have them?
Cheers.

No cerbs don't have this although have thought about making some or getting some laser cut.

Your first customer is here.

I always wanted a pair of polished stainless steel or chrome finishers just like some other models have fitted.

Kind regards
Simon

Thanks for the replies guys. Turns out TVR do indeed make these plates, some cars were fitted some weren't.
I'll be getting some of these to smarten it all back up again.

I cant seem to find a photo, but basically its a polished SS plate that fits in the area covering your door lock on the door sill.
Looks nice but also is a lot stronger than the screws holding the lock in place by the holes cut in the GRP.
