Well I've had my Cerbera since March, and I must say what a car - coudn't think of anything that couild possibly compare!
It's had the following work completed over the last few months
Clutch
Slave and master
Near and offside outriggers, plus chassis strip down and clean + paint and waxoil (all 100% solid
) huge relief!
Air con + alternator belt
Battery
Stainless water pipes
Silcon water hoses
Seat bolster repair
Stereo system removed ready for new install
upgarded wipers
Throttle pots
Wheels refurbed
Question is I'm considering getting the following done over the winter, and is it worth it?
1.) Front end respray including including the under bonnet panels + gloss the air boxes (currently raw carbon fibre) the paint is in good condition, just the usual stone chips that spoil it.
2.) Clear indicators front and side
3.) Interior door cards, roof lining and parcel shelf re trim as I dislike the office chair fabric look.
If i get all the above all done I'd like to think the value of my car would be slightly higher than the average........If not then the wife may not sign off the budget
Decisions decisions..........

APart from the respray I'd try DIY'ing the other two. The door cards actually look pretty straight forward and if you get the right glue (audioscape stuff is awesome if you follow the instructions to a tee) it shouldn't be too tricky.. if you mess up then hand them over to a trimmer.. should cost <£50 to do yourself with decent materials...
Side repeaters are a 10second job, the front indicators look a pain but I'm going to try and tackle them myself...
How much is the front end respray going to cost? If mine needed one I'd be tempted to do a lupo light conversion at the same time for circa £500 just to help justify it a little more!
ps. How much did the clutch change cost?

FWIW, if the airboxes are standard, they're not actually CF, they just look like it.
My front end looks like it has been shot with a 12 bore but the car, like me, is strong and sturdy if not the prettiest
but Im happy to leave it like that 
One of my airboxes was - you could see where the weave was pished - the other wasn't. Good old TVR!My front end looks like it has been shot with a 12 bore but the car, like me, is strong and sturdy if not the prettiest
