I can't believe I'd not seen this conversion before. Looks really good. S

its a factory look that TVR used for the very last of the Chims

I cannot, in all honesty, think of anything that looks more awesome than that.... it's just stunning... Has to be one of the best looking cars of all time.... truly magnificent....

Anyone thought of doing it and decided not to, and have a set of the covers that they no longer want / need ?.

I've just sent you a mail as I have a new full kit (pods that will need spraying, new Hella lights and new perspex covers) that I'm in two minds if I should fit of not.

i love this look for the Chim

Yup, paint shop put them on the wrong way round - don't worry, they're on the right sides now

Just my tuppence worth......I think they look great. Not keen on the Tuscan type conversions on Chims but the faired in ones look great IMHO.

i think the Tuscan conversion can also look awesome. but i must admit the faired in look is more classy

saw these a few weeks ago - they look nice, but not sure about the black band around the edge.

[A900ss]

I'm not convinced with those. Although its got the nice faired in look, it also has the quite large black band around the edges.

I'd be keen to see the version in the flesh though.
