S Cradle Tank Finishing Plinth - Gauaging Interest

[nigegas]

Hi all

Hoping this thread finds you all well, I would appreciate your opinion and thoughts on the following, as I feel this will look great on the new cradle tank I will be fitting next week, pics to follow.

The S cradle tank finishing plinth has been made from High grade Brushed 304 stainless steel, it is 1.5mm in thickness and the bend has been created by utilising a Hydralic CNC press.

The TVR S etching, has been created by a 2kw laser and can accommodate for either V6 or V8 models respectfully.

I have had one of these made up for my car, I am really pleased with the finished product and considering getting a batch made up, therefore I would appreciate your feedback, so I can gauge wether there is sufficient interest to move forward.

Cheers

Nige
