Well after some light damage, and a cracked headlight cover I have decided to go the full hog now I have found a decent bodyshop. The work so far has consisted of... an entire custom carbon kit for the exteria, painted rocker cover, carbon seats, tinted headlight covers and some other little bits I've been meaning to do for some time. On Friday I'm due take delivery of the car (from the team that have carried out all the work). Very very pleased with the bits I've seen so far, top notch work (and I'm very, very particular/anal with my cars). Will be keen to see what people think on PH???

Sounds nice. How much weight has the carbon addenda saved?

They look very nice!

I often scuff the underside of the front splitter on the Tam (I live on an un-made road and it's a nightmare) and have often thought that it would be good to have a removable scuff strip that could be bolted to the underside of the splitter which would take most of the abuse and could be easily replaced.

I'm not suggesting that it should be in CF (although money no object that would be cool) but do you think your body shop friends would be up for having a go?

This is all off the top of my head and a bit of a hi-jack on the thread but thought I'd give it a go.

Any thoughts?

I bet they could sort that out without a prob... they're really very talented guys judging from my car.

They have a new plan to stop bashing the splitter on curbs (dont think it would help scraping though) so watch this space!

I'll try and get some more pics up asap.

Yes it is indeed a white cover... done by the same guys. Love it!!!!

Sorry I've not been on for a while. The car is looking great (still yet to take some decent pics for PH).

Its just haveing the wheels painted a shade or too darker... then she'll be done.

Ask Jason (the owner) @ Esser Works (near horsham) about the diffuser though. Fab work... I beleive he coated the TVR one, so its not lighter... but it looks sooooooooo much better.
