On the "rubber band" mirrors fitted to the later S's should the 3 ribs between the rubber bands be black or body colour (presuming your body isn't black wink )




Mine are painted but car has been resprayed and chunks are peeling off revealing a kind of "textured" satin/matt black finish that looks to me as if it shouldn't be painted?

Black. A few years back someone posted a link to a gasket suppliers which listed a seal with the right dimensions to fit those slots. I can't find it now but strangely I thought it was one of your posts when you had the golf cart for a while.

Quite possibly, I did buy some replacements for the Chimaera (we're all allowed one mistake in life) don't recall the size but had a measure up now and I'd go for 4.0mm x 150mm ID?

I do recall "my supplier" didn't have the correct cross section, the ones I got were a bit skinny.

Indeed that's all they are but after a bit of searching to significantly beat the TVR Parts price I'd have to buy an awful lot (but shame the postage is so much irked)!

Is it worth joining TVRCC to get my 10% discount scratchchin
