My Dads was a purple colour which sort of shifted colour slightly in different light conditions. The interior was cream white leather coloured and still one of the best interiors I've seen in a car he has owned ~ the stitching & dial layout was fantastic. Think this below was the colour... Found a nice one here I think for sale: http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/tvr/cerbera/late-v8-high-specification-ajp/5565988?v=b

Wow, ...another amazing GTR. I saw another video of the same car which showed the Garrett turbos at the front which are huge.

First time I've seen one of those and I must say that is awesome. I just did some Googling to find out more about it & watch some videos... Source: http://cars.mclaren.com/675LT-Performance

I bet he still gets the USA version of chavs in Corsa B's & Saxos trying to race him as well though.

The finish line is almost in sight, ...excellent stuff Andy.

Very cool Chris.

Have you thought about asking Alex? Might be something he'll know or can check for you.

Used to see a 5.0 Cerbera when i was walking to school every morning. God that sound. They're incredible imo. When my old man used to be driving home I could probably hear his TVR from about a mile away. To this day I've still not experienced acceleration like I did in his car when we had been out in it together. Took it on Castle Combe with him a few times too which was great fun. His was reliable too in the time he owned it but it was a fairly new car then with it only being a year or two old when he got it. He did have a TVR Chimaera for a year or so before the Cerbera but after the Chimaera broke down on him once & developed a water leak into the passenger footwell he decided to trade up for the Cerbera.

Moved to the correct area Op.

I think that's good news Commander, ...happy wife, happy life. My old man used to have a TVR Cerbera back about 16 years odd ago so I've a lot of love for these. His was the 4.5 Ltr V8, ...what version engine are you going for? and are you going for the classic (older) headlight version or the (imo) horrible headlight looking version?

Ha ha, ...haven't we all.

If you don't mind waiting for a delivery then zmanalex & Emperor Tuning are probably your best bet for good used parts. Zmanalex: http://www.350z-uk.c.../9648-zmanalex/ Emperor Tuning: http://www.350z-uk.c...emperor-tuning/

I did wonder Russ. It's fine though as sometimes there are more important things then posting videos on a car forum (only sometimes mind). I haven't finished watching those above episodes as it got too late for me last night. Going to try & watch the rest later.

Great news blazemaguire and always nice to get a conclusion on these problems, ...might help other members out in the future knowing what to look/listen for.

Sold - thread locked Let me know if you need it unlocked for any reason MW.

That's a bit harsh, ....Chris is a good guy I'll have you know. GLWTS ZEUS.

I think that's probably the best way to go for now and you'll definitely get a better finished part afterwards from them. Maybe ask for a half decent dipping kit as a birthday or Christmas present? That way if it is a waste of money for you then it's someone else's money that got wasted and not your own. Good luck with your plans.

And the very latest episode....

Ok so I'm not sure if Russ has forgotten about this but I hadn't and had began to wonder why so long between episodes.... I mean it has been a year! Anyway quick search and I bring you:

I have tried hydro dipping AKA water transfer printing myself. Basically anything that you can dip into water without ruining it can be dipped. I bought a starter kit from eBay for around £50 odd which came with mostly everything you'd need to get started. As you'd imagine though it wasn't the best even for £50. The film (that's the part with the pattern on it) for starters although it looked fairly good quality it was in fact fairly rubbish (China made AFAIK) as was the supplied activator (the spray which liquefies the film). I have since ended up investing more money in it with better films (believe Japan make the best quality) and quality activators. All supplied by AquaGraphix a professional trader on here: http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/227-aquagraphix/ Trust me when I say the videos on Youtube are very misleading and as you're aware they don't show you even half the process or prep work involved in making a quality item. Also they never show you the messed up ones & trust me it does mess up a lot especially when you're learning how to do this process correctly (even the Pros will admit it never goes according to plan all the time with dipping ). ZEUS above has correctly touched on the basic process: Prepare the part for dipping ~ sanding maybe necessary/removing all old paint/other surface finishes etc, then wash, dry, panel wipe (degrease) and lay down a good coat of appropriate primer. Allow to dry. Check surface finish ~ may require more sanding (wet & dry), ..if happy Apply base coat colour ~ varies depending on the film you are using & the effect/look you want. For example; one of the films I have is a black snake skin pattern. It works best over any light coloured base coat but you wouldn't use a black base coat as you wouldn't see the pattern then. Once your base coat is done and properly dry you need to check the surface finish again, degrease, ...then if happy You're ready to start dipping your part: **skipping the dipping technique info just for now as it's mainly in my thread below** Once dipped you will need to gently wash your dipped part: I do this under a lukewarm gently running tap. This is to wash off any film residuals. Once the part has been washed and left to dry you will then need to lacquer (clear coat) the part to protect the film/part & ensure a long lasting finish. Allow lacquer to fully harden and then you're done (well hopefully). This is my thread I wrote for my first attempt at hydro dipping: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/102662-tried-my-hand-at-hydro-dipping-aka-water-transfer-printing/ I have though gotten better thankfully at hydro dipping since my first attempts and am still practicing on bits like computer parts, car parts, phone covers etc whenever I get the chance. Below is a picture of one of my latest dips which was on a "MadCatz Rat1" mouse using a digital green camo print film over a cream white base coat. Pretty challenging doing the digital camo as the pattern will distort as it goes around the part especially with a shape as complex as that mouse is (fyi: it was totally dismantled for dipping and the parts individually dipped ~ the dark olive green parts were spray painted as too awkward to dip imo). Anyway hope you like & have found that informative. Gareth, Just in case you're interested this is below what the Pros did for me when I had my Zed Dipped interior parts done by AquaGraphix: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/86048-hydro-dipped-interior-parts-door-pulls-grab-handle/
