TVR Sagaris Laser Blue Metallic Paint Code

[Pixi]

Just had the front of my Sagaris resprayed, had some fun getting the paint code. Now it is done and looks great - paint details are as follows to help out my fellow Laser Blues. It is a Lotus paint code (B85):

No problem, Laser Blue boyz!

They did a great job - to only took the nose respray back as far as the first ridge on the wings to save money and they didn't need to go further back as paint fine beyond that point). I was a bit sceptical as to how 'seamless' it would be but its incredible - you'd never know. Also the front splitters were done and they look brand new - although now I don't want to ground it out on the bumpy roads where I live.

PS just ordered the Lotus touch up paint from www.eliseparts.com

I'm off to order one right now as there is a kerb here at work now sporting a dab of laser blue paint from my front splitter.

(nasty little crack down the paint for an inch or two as well)

Anyone know how many Laser Blue Sag's they made?

Well there are at least 2 as I had the choice of 2 when I bought mine.

There were two of us at Chatsworth. Mine and Paul from Notts. Also know of another in SE London so that'll be a few then.

Useful info on the touch up. I managed to go that 5mm too close to the kerb in the car park at Brands the other week and my splitter also has a little graze.

I know. It's a bummer isn't it? The mixture of annoyance, embarrassment and fear of expense is an unpleasant combination.
