Absolutely shocking paint and wheels choice but I bet people won't be able to see it for long with the new engine build!
each to there own, and in all fairness the only bits on the car that was like it when i bought it!! i personally like it, as it gives it a showy looklag would of been a issue but with the boostlogic box ive had fitted, ive had a 3800 high stall torque converter installed so the clutch "slips" to 3800 revs so the turbo dosnt come off boost when full throttle
ive declaired every mod with adrian flux and its 1600 fully comp, which is what i was paying with another company before i started the engine work so very pleased
yea its not been cheap going single, so far the parts tally has just reached 16k, and the labour bill has just topped 3k!! but its all worth it!
before i decided to do the conversion i was looking at getting another car, funnily enough i did go look at a tvr tuscan (must be a paint thing) and when i started looking around the car at a traders, the bloke came out and basically laughed in my face making out i couldnt afford it so then i thought, right lets do this to mine and put people to shame!
loving the comment about big turbo attached to a small supra!!

Colour and wheels are a subjective matter, and a personal choice, so:
Very nice car, and £1600 comp insurance is remarkable considering the declaration and your age. Good for you!
I'd have told the TVR vendor straight to go f
k himself if that's his attitude. I find little sypathy for these people finding themselves out of work with attitudes like that.
