yes they are ascar cans,they took a pattern off mine i think.

the car looks like brand new now so i'm very happy, the headlights were a worry for me but i'm really happy with the look,ditto rear lights.

thanks for your comments.

the colour is a bit of a long story,but is basically a copy of the rosso pearl that was on it originally.

i was advised by a well known tvr bodyshop not to have rosso pearl again simply because it is too problematic for future matching if for instance i had a minor scrape.

the reason i had a respray in the first place was because of the mismatched paintwork,so i didn't want to be back to square one in few months time if,heaven forbid,i needed a repair.

also cost of respray in rosso pearl was around £5000.

so i picked a colour as near as i could but without the problems,it is a pearl metallic.

however because of the slight colour change the car had to be fully stripped so every nook and crannie is now repainted,i could have had any colour you like.

total cost inc lights £2500.

i helped out a bit by removing the headlamps and rear light covers,also removed the doors when at bodyshop.

we re-fitted the doors together but i did all the new lights.

i am a bit hands on though,so perhaps i get too involved.

price did include front end conversion of course.
