Looks good Steve, as your side strakes(hope thats correct) look to be in black or carbon fibre have you changed the grill to black as well. If you have, any chance of a pic of the front end as its something I am thinking of doing on mine.

Hi,

Yes I changed the front grille from a 8 slat chrome to a 6 slat Carbon Edition one, I will try to get some better front and rear and post for you.

I made the mistake of looking up the Carbon Fibre and other parts that I could fit to the car and somehow my 'Man Maths' added up that I needed to buy the following...

Carbon Fibre Rear Diffuser
Carbon Fibre Front Splitter
Carbon Fibre Side Strakes
Carbon Edition 6 Slat Front Grille
Clear Rear Lenses
Black Ceramic Tailpipes (Still to fit)
Carbon Fibre Door Sill Plates (Still to fit)

Not yet fitted as I think there is such a thing as too much Carbon Fibre... (I never thought I would hear myself say that!)

Carbon Fibre Mirror Caps
Carbon Fibre Kamm Tail
Carbon Fibre Rear Lens Insert

I think these may work better on a darker car...

Regards

Steve

Thanks Steve

The top part of your list is a match for the items i would like to fit to mine once the funds are freed up from the sale of the Sag, shame you aren't a bit more local would like to see those fitted.
Look forward to the photos.

Hi Kev,

I ordered some of the Carbon Parts from http://www.oyacarbon.com/products.asp?menuid=12 in China (very good price), and I have an idea now that the other parts bought from eBay were from the same source...

If you PM me your email address I will send you over a load of pictures, and the price list from China, some of there kit is really good, not too impressed with the sills as the fitting holes don't lined up very well, they will with a bit of attention when I get time!

Shame you have to sell the TVR, I have a 500 Griffith which my head is telling to me sell but my heart just wont let it go...

Regards

Steve

I was deciding between this and Tungten and went with the later. Pictures like this make me wonder if I made the right decision.
You made the wrong desicion :P

Sometimes George, however much I want to disagree with you I simply cannot.

Hardly green is the best Aston colour available. No footballer/drug dealer/Essex girl would be seen in a Hardly green car.... White on the other hand...
