Customising for that personal touch?
Discussion
Now i've joined the ranks of the 'S' club and had a few days to familiarise myself with the car, i've already had the odd thought of 'that would be cool to...'etc,etc. ie the first thing that struck me on the long drive home, was 'why is there no clutch foot rest'?...it seems strange to me that a sports car with a heavy duty clutch doesn't have one (or does it?), as you end up with your foot resting uncomfortably on pedal (forbidden!) or on floor. Has anyone fitted one and where to get it? I also find the pedals too close together.
Also, what other tweaks have people done to make the car more personal/classy etc...i like the ally switch covers from Leven, anyone got these/recommend them?
All handy suggestions/tips greatly appreciated,
cheers
Mark.

Yep cheers Johno, i knew i should have put a 'not max-muppet' type customisation disclaimer!..i'm after the stylish touches/tweaks.
Mind you the fluffy dice has made me think again!
I like the sound of those ally bezels for the gauges as long as it doesn't make the interior too 'ye-olde' sportscar look.?...and not keen on the wood interior bits for the same reason, i have an ally 'ball' gearstick and like that look.

Jeez, my forum topics been bushwhacked by those two balcony guys 'M@H & Johno' again !...you guys have too much time on your hands!
Would like to see that 'Leebee interior' piccy though M@H or any others to compare.
cheers,

.....these cars look great by beer gardens on a sunny afternoon!

..Leebees interior looks pretty cool, is that heater control panel a new (electric-looking colour) type?, i think the original looks cheap and a let-down for the otherwise nifty S dash, surprised no-one has made a chrome surround for that too. Are the clocks easy to remove and where do you get the bezels from?
Has anyone replaced the handbrake for a chrome one?..an easy job?
So many questions !!

You are a handy 'oracle' Johno!...thanks for the help.
Where do you get the replacement sticker for the heater...TVR dealer? and glad to hear the handbrake is easy, someone told me they are a bugger to replace?..it and the heater are quite prominant in the cockpit and yet both are cheaply finished.

Does Leebee have a shop/private business then? or a catalogue of custom bits etc that he sells?
Also, not sure if anyones covered this before, but i seem to have lost the drivers door rubber U-shape seal (about 2" long) that fits around the window at the top back edge of door, to stop water getting inside the door panel. The passenger side also looks like someones made a replacement for it out of thin rubber. I take it that they are just glued on and therefore easily lost?
Anyone found/made a suitable piece of rubber to fix this or do i have to order new ones from TVR main supplies?
