Just upgraded my dash from the standard wood effect item to a Leven tech alloy one.

As a result I now have the standard wood dash along with the small section that surrounds the heater controls going spare.

If anyone needs one, let me know!

Any chance of sticking some pics up for us to "ooh" and "ah" at?

Cheers,

Hope this works!!

more here if not

The dash cost around £140.00 so around half the cost of a TVR replacement and is very well made. Fairly easy to fit too apart from the oil pressure temp guage having to be disconnected at the engine end!!

strangely enough, I prefer the original.

Maybe if the lower binnacle looked the same?

The colour is Raspberry metallic. Rather lairy to say the least but I think the Cerb gets away with it very well

When I first called the chap I bought this car of and asked him about the colour I was very unsure to say the least. Raspberry with blue full hide???????? how nice.......

Decided to go along and have a look and was sold pretty much the moment I saw it. As if the Cerbera hasnt enough road presence in the first place, even had someone taking pictures in the shell station on monday while I was filling up.

Anyone else out there with a raspberry cerb??? Never seen another so far.

Scott.... just checked your profile and my question about other raspberry cerbs was answered

Ive been dreaming about anthracite spiders since I got the car. After seeing your car I am left with no option but to sell the contents of my house on e bay to get them!

Go easy their matt, I have 18" anthracite on mine. Three very big problems.

1) Parking near curbs, the spokes are way wide of the rim

2) In order not to hit the bodywork, you need stops on the steering rack which make you look like a total nerd in a carpark when your doing a ten point turn.

3) And the amazing tramlining that actually means you need both hands on the wheel at all times and especially if you ever travel on the motorway in the slow lane.

I think the resident wisdom is that their very good to look at but the 17" probably better from the ride point of view

God knows what happened to the guy who put 19" on.

Julian,

Ive heard a few people mention these problems but I think Im gonna have to learn the hard way!!!

By the way. I have just had a set of 17" Cerbera alloys refurbished (2 days ago) so absolutely spotless. The tyres are nearly brand new. If you fancy a PX on your spiders then please let me know.

Also have another set in the classifieds.
