Pull up to the bumper baby..

[mrzigazaga]

Hi Peeps..Been taking advantage of the lovely weather and have washed the car but noticed a small crack and paint damage where some joker has bumped off my car..They do it to every car ive ever owned so i suppose i should expect it..Anyway how is the bumper held on as it is a bit loose now and wondered about tightening it up..
Over the weekend i went to a local carpet place and was initially thinking of chocolate brown for the interior but after the guy gave me a big book of carpet to try against my console i was not too keen on the idea and then i randomly opened it and it fell open on a red with black fleck carpet..It looked amazing..So today i went and paid a local trimmers a visit and got quoted around £2,000 for repair to seats,Re-covered in black leather with red piping..centre console..dash..New hood and window..Carpet..and door cards..He will also make up some black mats with red piping..Hopefully be getting it done next month...Cant wait..Im all excited..Be able to drop the roof down with pride,Instead of targa off only at mo...
Cheers..Ziga

Just left of the number plate but its hard to see as i think ive cleaned it too much..

Sounds a good price for all that. Glad your faith has been restored

At firts i thought the price was a little high butyour going to get a lot of work done. Has this place put a roof on a wedge or any other TVR before as they can be rather auckward.
Remember to take before and after shots for all us sadoos to look over Zigs. Nice one. Glad ur sticking on with the car. One day it will be all done and you wount know what to do with yours self. Its half the fun of owning some thing that not every one has, wants but its different and interesting. Ive rarely had a bad coment just intreaged.

Three bolts usually; two accessible once you take the sidelight/indicators out and the third is behind the number plate... but to get a spanner on the nut you usually have to take a headlamp pod out.
